The evolution of chess is explored through the fascinating history of the queen piece, which emerged after five centuries without her. Initially absent from the game, the queen's introduction coincided with chess's rise in popularity among European royals in the Middle Ages. Over time, she transformed into a formidable force on the board, serving as both a fierce warrior and protector of the king, reflecting broader societal changes in gender roles and power dynamics.
