There's multiple types of answers, and that's why I commented such. It was pretty much a homework assignment. The one that makes sense is the Queen is the general. Someone linked a NYT article, but there's more than one answer.
The problem is what we have documented, oral lore, and historians willing to use both in research are hard to find depending on the topic. I'm not interested today, hense my negative reaction to the mass of material.
Proof of the western propaganda. In the version Allah created there's no queen, only a humble advisor. The west elevates women because of satan, Allah made them humble and dedicated to their husband
someone who plays chess a lot in my life once told me that the king and queen used to move identically, but apparently the IRL queen at the time complained and so the queen was made OP in the official rules.
no idea how true this is, but I would not be surprised

But can you tell us why are the pieces black and white? 🤔
Why does Checkers have more kings than Game of Thrones?
"What makes you so damned special?"
"Well I have that dealy where me and a rook can switch places instantly."
"Your dealy is shithouse, your majesty. Pawns are more useful than you."
"DON'T START ON THAT AGAIN! I keep telling you, those losers can only go forward! I can move in all directions!"
I should just take up Shogi instead.
