Piece Value

In chess, each piece has its own strength, kind of like superheroes! The pawn is small and mighty (just 1 point), the knight and bishop are smart fighters (3 points each), the rook is super strong (5 points), and the queen is the ultimate hero (9 points)! The king is the boss — no points for him because he's priceless! Knowing the value helps you make strong moves!
