Is the queen taller in chess?

It depends on how you see it. In one sense, the king is bigger because the game ends once the king is checkmated, while the game continues even after the queen is captured! However, from the point of view of controlling squares, the queen is an extremely strong piece, due to the wide variety of allowed moves that it has! At an even deeper level, the answer to your question also depends on the phase of the game, and the dynamics of that particular game!

Is the king in chess your goal?

The goal in chess, or the object of the game, is to checkmate your opponent's king. A king is in checkmate when he is attacked and no matter what move he attempts to make he is still being attacked (or in check). There are three ways to get out of check: move the king to a safe square, capture the checking piece, or block with another piece. If a player is in check and cannot get out of check, he is in checkmate and has lost the game.

Chess is a two-player strategy game played on an 8x8 grid board. Each player has 16 pieces, including a king, queen, rooks, knights, bishops, and pawns.
