The reason the king and queen are pieces in chess is because under the monarchial model, the king actually had to go to war and risk his hide, which as it turns out, made kings less likely to go to war.

Good point. Reminds me of Shakespeare's Henry V:

> If we are mark'd to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honour... He which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart; his passport shall be made, and crowns for convoy put into his purse; we would not die in that man's company, that fears his fellowship to die with us... We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.
