    The king is not weak. In 100% of games it’s the last piece to fall.

    Statistically the pawn to the rightmost of the white king also survives in some 70%, while the queen only has about 49% chance of survival to the end.

    The knights and the pawn in front of the queen are the first to go.

      Yes, well that’s because he puts everyone else in harm’s way first. Typical behavior for a “noble”.
