So what you’re saying is that switching it from Vizier to Queen isn’t about progressive feminism, but instead about monogamy and heteronormative gender roles? Way to ruin it for everybody! 😠
The Vizier also only moved one space at a time, like the king but without significant importance. It wasn’t until the French changed the Queen in the 1600s to move as far as she wants that she was liberated from the shackles of the patriarchy.
Well, originally, the piece is Vizier - king’s advisor, the gender of which isn’t specified. (but implied to be male?)
The wazir only moved a single space horizontally or vertically.
The name change from wazir to queen started as early as the 10th century, but the current move set dates from the late 15th century.
Actually it’s still called Vizier (or something close) in several languages.
But we’re talking about that piece as the most powerful in the game, which happened in Europe, where it had been called a queen for hundreds of years.

Idk if I’m saying that, but it’s definitely woke. They should’ve came up with a new character instead of just gender-swapping an existing one!
