Going out of my mind trying to remember a fighting fantasy book or possibly magazine that I played when I was a kid in the 80’s. Can’t remember the title but I can remember you had to fight the black queen on a chess board. Does this ring any bells with anybody?

Crypt of the Vampire from the Golden Dragon series had an encounter against a queen on a chessboard. Only one I can think of.

Might have been Proteus 11 - Challenge of the Promethean Guild.

Maybe "Spectral Stalkers" Fighting Fantasy #45? There is a chess like game at paragraph 81.

Why is Crypt of the Vampire so damn worse than Vault of the Vampire?

Torchy already said not. I've found a scan of the relevant illustration from Challenge of the Promethean Guild. Spoilered because of size, but is this the Black Queen you remember?

Any other illustrations or encounters even if only vaguely remembered?
