hardest piece to master.

in your opinion what is the hardest chess piece to master? i say it is the pawn.

no, not the pawn...
the pawnS!
together, the pawns can winna game of chess as much as another piece...
for example:

would you rather have all 8 pawns and no queen?
or keep the queen with no pawns?
personally, i see the queen as one piece, true, a powerful piece, but just one...

anyway, since ive said it...
what is the general opinion on that opinion
if a board were set up like usual, one side gave up its queen, and the other gave up all pawns... which side would you rather play as?

Not really a good example of your point. If you gave up your queen, and I gave up my pawns, I would destroy you due to the fact all my pieces were in play instantaneouly and yours were stuck behind your pawns. And I would have a queen!!!!!!!!!!

If you ONLY had 8 pawns, and I ONLY had a queen, I would also destroy you. It would take you 8 moves to get one pawn to queening, but to get one there protected would take many moves more. All the time I would be chomping on your backward pawns. Oh joy. Infact I bet you couldnt get one as far as the 6th rank?

Don't underestimate your queen. She is valued as she is for a reason 🙂

I also think the pawns are the hardest to master because, they can be more effective than most people realize. People often underestimate the pawns. Even just one pawn can change the outlook of a game.
