which is the strongest piece?
Sort:
The most strongest piece in a game is the King
how so? the king might be the most important piece (in that losing your king loses the game) but in terms of sheer power the queen is presumably magnitudes ahead, seeing as how it can move exactly like the king but it can go more than a single space in any direction.
But now one might further argue that the pawn is the strongest piece as the potential for promotion means that it has a unlocked power that is up to or equal to a queen in addition to is basic power as a lowly pawn.
The strongest piece changes vary greatly. you can have games with all star bishops or rooks that do so much more work than anything else. Don't limit your thoughts.

The rook is the strongest piece. Two minor pieces can sometimes beat a queen, and a rook can sometimes beat two minor pieces. Hence the rook is the strongest piece

Pawns are the only "piece" that cannot be forced to retreat by enemy threats.
I'd say the "strongest" piece varies from game to game and even move to move as the "strongest" would be the one that controls the most relevant squares.
The king.

The King is strong in an endgame, especially with very few pieces on the board. Until then it is not remotely strong!
Harry!!
I think the strongest piece is the pawn
This is kinda a silly question. The strongest piece depends on the position.

Yes but overall from the start of the game the queen is the strongest. She might not always stay the strongest but from the off she's the one

Bishops singing All Star would be a sight

The strongest piece is of course...you. Because you control all your moves and make the decisions.
