Correct option is A
The correct Ans is (A) King
Explanation:
In chess, the King is considered invaluable because losing the King results in the end of the game, but it has no specific point value for scoring. However, in terms of movement and influence on the board, it is often considered less "valuable" in point terms compared to other pieces.
Point values for chess pieces:
- Pawn: 1 point (lowest in numerical value).
- King: No specific point value because the game's objective is to protect it.
- Queen: 9 points (most powerful piece).
- Rook: 5 points.
- Knight (Horse): 3 points.
Key Points:
- The Pawn has the lowest numerical value, but the King is "priceless" because its capture ends the game.
- The Queen is the most powerful and versatile piece on the board.
- Chess scoring systems are often used to evaluate material balance during play.
