To be fair whoever added the queen was clearly trying to min max without understanding the other side gets a queen too; she is like super OP.
Interestingly I actually read somewhere that when chess was first invented there was no queen on the board, and then just like the addition of Chun Lee to Street fighter led to a developer quitting because he insisted she had to have less health than everyone else, the queen became a staple of the franchise.
I’m pretty sure there was backlash about the queen during its early years
