Rank all chess pieces based on how much you like them!

I'll go first:

  1. The rook. Such a strong piece, can block off the king on one side of it, always comes in clutch in endgames, and is the only piece apart from the queen than can checkmate just with the king.

  2. The knight. The most versatile piece, can create all sorts of traps even against very experienced players, it is the only piece which can move in a different way to the queen and can do very nasty forks.

  3. The pawn. In my opinion, very underrated. They are very solid in the centre in early game, and in late game, can promote to a queen. They support each other very well.

  4. The queen. About time I put the queen. Obviously a very good piece, just I like other pieces better.

  5. The bishop. It's fine, just a bit boring to me. It can't block off the king to one side of the board, and I find it can get trapped very easily. It also can't go on all squares of the board like the knight.

  6. The king. All my problems stem from this man. I think that about sums it up.

Just to be clear, it isn't which piece is the best, it's just which piece do you like the most(which, for some people, can be which piece is this best).
