Whoever invented chess didn't think very highly of a king's ability to fight in battle, amirite?

King is generally sitting around getting fat, drinking ale and impregnating servant girls, while the Queen is busy plotting in the background on how to off the King and all of his associates

True. And it's everyone else's job to protect the King.

Queen was originally weaker, 1 square diagonally only.

That was the servant,the queen has always been the strong piece

In some countries, the queen was a male advisor to the king.

If you watch high level chess, the king is one of the most powerful end game pieces. It can be used to trap the enemy king into a corner.

Making the enemy king useless. If it was some other piece it would have no problem getting out. Accept it, kings are weak af.

Well duh, if its one if 2 pieces left its the 2nd most powerful now.

You're underestimating the Kings power in endgame. Once most of the pieces are off the board the king becomes very powerful.

That's like saying Stephen Hawking would win a Marathon, if enough people were thrown out.

I don't think you know very much about chess. Also Steven Hawking was on a boat crew team in college.

I know how the game works, am i good at it?
Not even remotely.

In Middle Eastern countries, parts of Asia and in Eastern Europe, the chess piece we call the Queen is called the Vizier, or something like that, which is more realistic.
