However, attacking the Pawn from d4 would not serve the same purpose: 1.Bd4 f6! 2.Bc5 h5 3.Bf8 h4
4.Bxg7 h3 5.Bxf6 and after 5…h2 the Pawn cannot be caught.

Introduce the Queen. Each side has one Queen. Their starting positions are d1 for White and d8 for
Black.

What does the Queen look like?

Value = 9 Points or equivalent to 9 Pawns / 2 Bishops and 3 Pawns / 2 Bishops and 1 Knight / 2 Knights
and 1 Bishop / 1 Bishop or 1 Knight and 6 Pawns, etc.

The Queen moves on files, ranks and diagonals. It is like a combination of a Rook and Bishop.

Show examples of how to capture 8 Pawns (with no other pieces on the board, only the side with the
Queen moves) with the Queen.
