| | Queen (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The queen can be moved in a straight line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, any number of unoccupied squares as shown on the diagram at the left, thus combining the moves of the rook and bishop. | | | Each player starts the game with one queen, placed in the middle of their first rank next to their king. | | | After the queens and a few other pieces have been exchanged, the kings are able to participate more actively in events, and the focus of the game shifts to a struggle to promote a pawn, usually to a new queen. |

| | BIGpedia - Chess - Encyclopedia and Dictionary Online |
| | Chess (from the Persian word Shah) is a board game and mental sport for two players. | | | Chess is not a game of chance; it is based solely on tactics and strategy. | | | Nevertheless, the game is so complex that not even the best players can consider all contingencies: although only 64 squares and 32 pieces are on the board, the number of possible games that can be played far exceeds the number of atoms in the universe (see "Shannon number"). |

| | US Chess Federation: |
| | Chess is a game for two players, one with the "White" pieces and one with the "Black" pieces. | | | Therefore, it is possible for each player to have more than one Queen or more than two Rooks, Bishops, or Knights on the board at the same time. | | | The squares on which these pawns may capture are indicated by an X. If a pawn advances all the way to the opposite end of the board, it is immediately "promoted" to another piece, usually a Queen. |

| | Toward the end of her book, Yalom turns to recent history, acknowledging that while in the Middle Ages chess was considered appropriate for women -- aristocratic women, that is -- today it is predominantly a man's game, and few women are found in the top competitive ranks. | | | I read their literature -- it's so ahistorical that it doesn't make a lot of sense, but there may be some unconscious factors in the way the game is played. | | | The other pieces move in restricted ways, except for the omnipotent queen, who can move in any direction, any number of open squares. |

| | Making Light: Fairy Chess |
| | The last successful variation to chess was nearly five hundred years ago: The Mad Queen's Game, which gave the queen the power to move the length and breadth of the board in a single move rather than being limited to one square in any direction (like the King's move). | | | The first game was "faultline chess" (I don't remember if that was what we called it then), where the chess board starts out as usual, with the two halfs re-assembled into a single normal chess board, the seam running across the middle halfway between the two players. | | | A variation of chess involving a change in the form of the board, the rules of play, or the pieces used. |

| | Chess openings: Queen's Indian (E12) |
| | For example, i don't think Queen's Gambit players lack the patience to play positionally(if they do, they are playing the wrong opening), and this isn't a particularly theoretical opening either. | | | That is not complete repertoire since Queen Pawn is easy alternative (and a very dangerous one for black) in case you want to bust centerless defence players. | | | I went through a phase when I was younger where I wanted to play the Queen's Gambit but this expert at the club kept playing the Budapest which was kind of off topic, so I learned the Colle System as a sort of beginning QP opening. |

| | The appearance of Chess in the Sasanian empire also apparently dates to this time, but Persian lore associates the game with India (as do the presence of elephants among the pieces). | | | One can see how in medieval Europe, where queens often played an important role as co-ruler and counsellor, the counsellor is transformed into a most-unislamic powerful consort. | | | Originally, the farzan/wazir was only permitted to move one square at a time, apparently in any direction. |
