"because in chess the queen is more powerful than the king"
False statement. If your queen gets captured, you indeed lose a substantial part of your power. But if your king gets captured, you lose the game.
I wouldn't say the OP is wrong. The king is definitely the more valuable piece, but doesn't mean the queen isn't a more powerful one.
Weird how you think of the word powerful as how much it affects you if it gets captured.
Is it? How much power is left you when the king is captured?
