What Wikipedia says

The queen (♕, ♛) is the most powerful piece in the game of chess. It can move any number of squares vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, combining the powers of the rook and bishop. Each player starts the game with one queen, placed in the middle of the first rank next to the king.
