      and thats the reason I think its better to call that piece as minister instead of queen. Since any servant can rise to ranks of a minister if he/she works hard. Since queen means someone should be royal. And its not possible to become royal unless you are born so.
      At least thats what I learnt after watching medieval tv shows about kings and queens

Consistent in principle, and I actually managed to retain it. Thanks so much!! Excellent video!

    Wow! Thanks for uploading this series. I was that 90%, started learning playing on the computer via trial and error, so I did not progress very far. Always felt like there was something missing in chess--basically I did not know the principles/purpose/goal (besides checkmating) of chess. But I was good enough to be in a position where the cpu kept marching its pawns to promotion, but I was too dumb to use that same strategy. I'll revisit chess sometime soon.

    I've been so frustrated with modern play. No one knows how to play an endgame. A statistical advantage is not an actual win. Being able to capture the king is the end of the game.
    A piece and a chair, to paraphrase poker, is all you need. The statistics of a perfectly played game does not represent a person with a momentary piece advantage and no endgame, and it does not equate a victory.
