Superqueen Superqueen

Chess variants
Value

Its value is far more than the queen's. It is somewhere around a queen plus a knight, maybe a little bit even more. Using the usual valuation of the pieces, its value is approx. 12-13 points (the queen's is 9).

Basic checkmate

The superqueen can mate the king in its own. The special is that it can do it without the support of its own king.
