I've heard different people say different things, but I was curious what you thought about how many points a queen is worth...some say 8 points...some say 9...I've even heard a few call a queen worth 10 points...
In other words...is a queen worth trading for a rook and a bishop?

The value of any piece is dependant on the possition. A queen that is en prise, and has no escape square is probably not very valuable. While a pawn that gives checkmate is immeasurably valuable.
