In chess it is beneficial to the player to keep the queen active in the game as long as possible. The queen has the longest range of movement, and is able to move in most any direction.
In life, the queen represents the person you can depend on anytime you need them. The person who, if your life is in check (so to speak) will dart across the board to help you out of a sticky situation.
Unlike in chess, life's queen is not always easily identifiable. In some cases, the queen might be a parent, a sibling. The bonds in those relationships are undeniable and are, for some, the strongest relationships a person will form in their lifetime.
Perhaps the queens position is held by not one person, but many in the span of a persons life. As we travel through our various stages of maturing, a person we can depend on may morph from one form into another in order to most adequately fit the current stage.
In any case, the presence of the queen is priceless. The confidant, the conscious, the comforter, the person that possesses the ability to guide you through any situation. A person who knows when to push just a little harder on the limits of emotion, and knows when to pull back and try again later is invaluable. Indispensable.
The queen is very possibly the most important person in your life and in some cases, can make the difference between winning a game and losing it. The trick, of course, is finding the queen hiding amongst the rest of the world. Realizing the purpose that can be served by paying attention to their wisdom.
