In chess, can the Queen move like a Knight?
We've always played that she could do any move that another piece does, but recently we've learned from other sources that she can only mimic the moves of a Rook or Bishop. So can anyone with real experience in this game tell me once and for all if this is true, or if this is an "optional" rule?
A queen can move like a Bishop, and like a Castle. Its basically the two combined, and she can move any amount of spaces just as they can as well. She cannot move as a Knight in ONE turn.
