Although I don't know how to play chess, I do know the queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess. Somehow the idea of that is very appealing to me. I can't explain why. I'm not really a power-monger. I believe it's because the queen is a woman that even though she's called "powerful", her power (or strength) is in her compassion and gentleness, like Queen Esther. That's a generalization, of course. Some women who get to reign can be real bloody heifers, like Jezebel and her daughter, Athaliah!
