Kinda notice that a knight attack cannot be blocked and it's the only piece that can get close enough to a queen

It's the only piece that can threaten the king and capture the queen at the same time

It can attack eight pieces simultaneously

What do u think ? Is the knight the most powerful piece in a chess board ?why and why not

Only chess expert and above

hard not to say the queen. When I get my rooks over, If i've lost a queen that's the first one I'm going for. The knight is also interesting. I believe the symbolism of the knight is espionage

Every piece down to the pawns on the board are equally important but each has it's distinct role it's playing.

the queen.

the queen.

but it has nothing on a knight

It can avoid the knight easily. The night has only 8 possible maximum moves. The queen has 28.

I'd say the Queen

Put it this way. Let's say you have lost a your knights and your queen but managed to get a pawn to the opponent's end of the board. What would you exchange your pawn for? A knight or a queen?

Depends on what my opponent has

Sometimes the only way to win a game is to have a knight

Queen without blinking an eye

Who promotes a pawn to a knight?

the queen can only target 8 piece at a time same as a knight

a knight is made for battle while a queen uses her influence

I believe the knight is the most underrated /powerful pieces in a chess board

Broo.. a knight is powerful quite alright
But it being the most powerful is arguable
The queen moves like every other piece on the board aside the knight but the knight can't even do that

Personally, I'll sacrifice my two bishops and my two knights just to have my queen on board

You sound like your game is built around your knight

I'd love to play you anyway

We could take it to chess.com and have fun

as soon as practicable

I'll rather have 1 queen than have 2 knights

A knight cannot checkmate the King unaided, but it can put the king on check whilst targeting another piece. I will let the knight fall in battle in exchange for a rook or queen. The knight can be pinned to a standstill by an ordinary pawn. The queen is the most powerful piece on the board, followed by the rooks, then the knights and Bishops. Yes, a knight can target several pieces at the same time, just like the queen; the only difference is that a knight's attack is indirect and cannot be blocked if the piece on target is unable to move.

Only a knight can't mate or end a game without needing help.
I like the knight cos it can move out of danger without obstacles.

Normally when I play an opponent, I first target the knight if I know the opponent knows how to use it well.

The best piece on the board is the queen.

Thats not true. The queen is the most powerful. Even two knights combined is not worth a queen.
A pawn is 1point
A knight is worth 3 points
A bishop is worth 3 points
A rook/castle is worth 4.5 points
A queen is worth 9 points

tell me in the picture below of what good is a queen if u wish to checkmate either kings with just a single piece

When you pawnmakes it to the last line if the opponent and you are without a queen and Knight, if you like promote the pawn to knight.

Baby chess player, who rates knights over queens? Weird

I don't know how this guy came up with knights being the most powerful. When I will chose a rook over it.
