Yes but a Maiden is the closest thing this show has to a physical god, and Cinder has the powers of 1 Maiden and perfectly willing to use them to their full extent.

So a White Queen, would logically need to be as strong as the Black Queen. And Cinder removed their currently-only way of getting a White Queen that could stand a chance against the Black Queen.

It's like getting your Queen killed before you even moved her. Your only hope now is to either Kill the King, or find a way to kill that Queen with your not-as-powerful remaining pieces. Or, recover the dead Queen.
