Does anyone ever pick anything besides a queen, and if so, why? Picking a knight would be true anarchy.
I don’t really play chess much, but I’d imagine there could be a situation where choosing a knight would be an instant checkmate, where a queen would not
I saw an analysis recently on youtube of a chess problem where if you picked the queen, you couldn’t win the game because it would always end in a tie due to the opponent being unable to make a move, so the correct choice was to get a tower instead.
Tower == rook?
Yes
Gotta turn it into another king. Double protection, double liability!
Do you lose if either King is checkmated, or only if both are?
Who knows!
