The important thing about this hobbled Queen is that it is a major piece.
That makes it more valuable than minor pieces like the Bishop and Knight.
I do not believe that Zillions checks whether a piece is major or minor in
its piece value calculations. I believe it focuses on how many spaces a
piece can move to. Here's an experiement. Create a piece that can teleport
to any empty space, but which has no other power of moving. I bet Zillions
will think it is very valuable -- even though it can never check the King.
