    The rook because no one knows what the heck that is and they won't see me coming.

    Hahahahahahahahahaha! Very Funnee Hunnee. The Rook eh? OK. You spoke first so you get first dibs on that. If anyone gives you any lip let me know and I'll square 'em away! Thank you for your reply Sharon! :)

    ROOK
    One of two pieces of the same color that may be moved any number of unobstructed squares horizontally or vertically; castle.

    But there is another rook too that I just discovered. Perhaps you already knew.

    ROOK
    1. A black European crow noted for its gregarious habits.
    2. A sharper at cards or dice; swindler
    3. To cheat, fleece or swindle

    Oh my GOD, Rosie.  Number 3. in the ROOK definition is TRUMP.  Now I have to change.  I HAVE TO.  I will even be a mere pawn rather than be anything like TRUMP.

    Well, since one Rook is taken:

    For mid-game ... I'd favor a Knight or Bishop.
    For end-game, though ... I'd rather be a Bishop or Rook.

    So I guess I'll choose to be a Bishop.

    I have checkmated with a pawn.  And I'm not even good.  They didn't see me coming.  I did the Trump strategy.

    I used to know the "trick" of checkmating someone in 6 moves, if they've never played chess ... but I've long since forgotten how.  lol

    I'm very fond of bishop and pawn or rook and pawn if I could have two pieces.  But I am not a chess master by a LOOOOONG shot.

    Honestly, the Queen.
    She has the most freedom of movement.

     Funny odd and puzzling too but your reply made me flash back to the earliest days of Roseanne Barr referring to herself as a DOMESTIC GODDESS! Not that you remind of her at any level but she was the farthest embodiment of a Goddess domestic or imported that I have ever seen but she pulled it off! How I'll never understand. A male group called itself QUEEN. A few QUEENS in history were magnificently powerful and brave. I wonder which women in today's day and age will be thought of as QUEENS? I think freedom of movement is essential just like sovereignty and independence. Thank you for your reply bw! :)
