Which is the most powerful piece besides the King on the chess board?

The King is perhaps the weakest piece on the board other than a pawn. The King is the most important, but not the strongest. It can move only one square at a time, whereas other than the pawn, which can only advance two spaces on its opening move, every piece may move more than one space beyond its position. The Queen is the most powerful on the board in terms of movement and capturing power. The King is very vulnerable in the opening and middlegame, but in the endgame where there are no Queens and very few other pieces it can become a monster of a piece.

At the beginning of game of chess there are more of which piece on the board than any other?

Pawns. There are 16 on the board , 8 for each player. But a true chess snob would say that there is no such "piece" . Many times the word "piece" means only the ones on the back rank. Pawns are referred to as, well, just pawns, not "pieces." Never the less, even official rules refer to all of the pieces as "pieces."
