I think she's totally fine. After all, she can just move like a Rook or a Bishop, and you get two of each of those.
The real problem is the Knights. They're the only piece that can move over other pieces. That's OP, and needs to be banned.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. To casual chess players that realize that chess is a casual game designed for people to enjoy, the Queen is way to powerful. But, to the people that think chess is a format where board disruption and resource denial is okay, the Knights are really where the power of the game lies.

You've got Knights mixed up with Pawns.

The wedding is over. Now it's time for the honeymoon.
The queen was originally the fers or farzin, which could move one square diagonally in any direction or leap two squares diagonally, forwards, or to the left or right on its first move.
[...]
In the Middle Ages the pawn could only be promoted to the equivalent of a queen (which at that time was the weakest piece) if it reached its eighth rank.
Quote from courier chess »
the queen, who has the move of the fers: one square diagonally
Actually I didn't. I got my foundations messed up. It's guys like me that think making goofy moves and being an ass is fun that think Knights are awesome.
I wanna sig this and add : Standard MTGS answer to card problems
I could have also gone with "chess is a casual game. You can ask your playgroup how they feel about the queen to see if they also want it banned and if not you can find another playgroup that is more suited for your style of play".
Man, you guys don't know anything. The King should be banned, because he's the only piece that is able to circumvent the "move one piece only during your turn" rule.

Wow, I hadn't thought about this.
It's almost as if... each piece has its own uses. Strengths and weaknesses, if you will. I wonder if this concept could apply to any other games.
My mind is blown.

Macius said that I have an obsession with Kaalia and that she's basically my waifu or something. Stupid comment, so I'm not dignifying it with an actual response.

Did you see the video where the guy went into waifu-ism? Its actually pretty funny and I think he also did touhouism....
On another note, Gals is back as global.... Yay!!! Although he should of called his help desk "Galspanic's Soapy Tub."
It's the equivalent of dividing by zero when posting.
Thanks, Heroes of The Planes! You guys are great!

I say we just switch to Modern Chess and embrace the Prime Minister. There's no reason to ban such a wonderful addition to the game.

Just run more answers noob.
Pshaw. That old hag? If it wasn't for the 10th edition rule changes, she'd be the weakest piece on the board!

But that's just because I enjoy non sequiturs.

I find non sequiturs to be shallow and pedantic.

I should've said that I shouldn't dignify that comment etc. I just woke up when I posted that.
Yeah it's a dick way to "respond", but that comment didn't put a smile on my face when I woke up.

I think you should try to sound a little more proper. The appropriate way to say that is:
"Yes it's a ***** way to 'respond, but that comment didn't put a smile on my face when I woke up."
(I love when slang tones things down.)
