Chess is actually a simplistic grid-based constrained strategy game unlike real life.

Just caught a ban for exposing that on 8ch.

This is not true, the vizier which is the precursor to the queen was the most powerful piece.

1200–1700: Origins of the modern game

Around 1200, the rules of shatranj started to be modified in southern Europe, and around 1475, several major changes made the game essentially as it is known today.[37] These modern rules for the basic moves had been adopted in Italy and Spain.[38][39] Pawns gained the option of advancing two squares on their first move, while bishops and queens acquired their modern abilities. The queen replaced the earlier vizier chess piece towards the end of the 10th century and by the 15th century had become the most powerful piece;[40] consequently modern chess was referred to as "Queen's Chess" or "Mad Queen Chess".[41] Castling, derived from the "kings leap" usually in combination with a pawn or rook move to bring the king to safety, was introduced. These new rules quickly spread throughout western Europe.
