No it is just right it should be in the Mystery category.
Ok, what's this about? "queen (queen) horse (knight)"? Call it what it is. I got this right obviously but there is no "horse" in chess. It's a knight. Might as well say that a stapler attacked a penguin..."penguin (queen) stapler (knight)"..I realize I'm stretching a little but it helps get my point across. Knights do not look like horses in all chess sets.
Don't be so negative Zembobo, it looks like a horse to me
Nice teaser for your first one. Try and make it a little harder for the next.

that so hard it almost took me a whole secon
God zembobo, the knight on the shess board does look like a horse
Although the chess piece does look like a horse, it is called a knight, so in the riddle it should be as well.
If you change it to "knight", it would be even easier. If people are going to worry about using the correct terms in teasers, half the teasers on this site will have to be changed.
And it should be in Trick or Situation. Not Mystery. I personally think Situation would be best.

I liked it but thought it was kind of easy.
Zembobo the knight is usually a horse's head. I grew up with chess players.
kinda easy.i grew up with chess.but still nice try for the first time.
I thought it was a rocking horse. Chess Pieces are just as good. Decent Teaser, keep them coming.
Nice teaser. Maybe it should be under "Trick" section?
i also think it should be in situation, but it was good
really nice and easy
pretty easy--there wasn't much to confuse.
well, i think the knight looks more like a horse,
but if you want to know, the queen looks like a fountain to me ;)

I wonder if the horse jumped over a castle to get to the queen...oops, sorry Zembobo, I mean rook!
You could say a knight attacked a queen, or a horse attacked a funny looking piece of wood. A horse attacked a queen if pushing it.
this was far too easy.
Who was he king?
Whoever he was, he was careless?
Making his wife fight in battles!

In chess, the horse is usually known as the knight. However, the knight does have a horses head.
