Did you know that during the Middle Ages, chess was a popular game of strategy for both royals and commoners? The game's pieces originally represented different ranks of medieval society, and the queen, which was then referred to as the counselor, had limited movement.

Yes, chess indeed was a popular strategy game during the Middle Ages enjoyed by both royals and commoners. Its pieces reflecting medieval society ranks included a counselor instead of the modern queen with restricted moves.
