Don't forget: In the chess analogy, the queen is not the commanding piece; that is the king. If Cinder is the Black Queen, then she is by far the Dark's most powerful attacking piece, that is true. However, she is not necessarily the true leader. Her reference to 'She' was the first canon indication we've had of the existence of the Black King (gender not indicated by title).

FWIW, Ozpin strikes me as the White King, which is why his death or at least defeat in chapter 12 is a possibility as it is essentially impossible for a king to get into an attacking position on a queen. The big unanswered question is: Who is destined to be the White Queen?

Whoever it is can have no hope of having 'normal knees'.
