Part II: Moving the Pieces (Queen)

• The Queen
  

The queen can move horizontally, vertically and even diagonally

Given the queen position on h1 what is the possible move?

The answer is g1, f1, e1, d1, c1, b1, a1 to move horizontally, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, h7, h8 to move vertically and g2, f3, e4, d5, c6, b7, a8 to move diagonally

To capture an opponent's piece, first move the queen to the opponent's piece, then take the opponent's piece.

Given the queen position on e4, what is the possible capture?

The answer is all the pieces around the queen, awesome isn't it?

The queen is feared even when she goes alone, that's why some player prefer to eliminate it at the early game.
