CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Which chess piece do you think is most important?

I agree with the Knight. Especially when you have 2 active on the field. I've seen many chess players take out their knights and bring it close to the opponent's king and get a checkmate quickly.

I see your point with the double attacks. I think your reffering to the Rook, the castle looking peace. A castle is a move used between the king and the rook

All the pieces are important and each serves its purpose. However, the Rook is the most important piece after the King and Queen.
If you're in an end game situation where you have your King and one other piece, while your opponent has only his King, it's virtually impossible for you to win with just a Bishop or Knight.
However, if you have a Rook, you can checkmate the enemy King without too much trouble. Just don't make any stupid moves that allow your opponent to obtain a stalemate.

The person who started this thread asked which piece, BESIDES the King and Queen, was the most important.

Well since pawns are potential queens they're important, but personally I've always liked my knights over bishops by far. But in point chess rooks are worth the most points next to kings and queens and are best for end game. Since you win if there is nothing on the table but your king and a rook, if your opponant has nothing but his king. You can't checkmate with just a king and bishop or king and knight.
