The second queen is of course less valuable than the first one however. But to say "only slightly more powerful" is a complete misrepresentation of what I'm saying at all. Or you just completely don't understand the argument. | |

Jan 13, 2020 at 14:41 | comment | added | Cruncher | @hkBst It's true, it gains mobility. But the value it gets from the mobility is greatly decreased when you have another piece that is already mobile | |
