Why Is This Queen Wearing an Eyepatch? ASMR

This puzzle was published by the Russian Chess Master Alexander Petrov in Schachzeitung #6, in 1824. It is more than a puzzle, it is a morality tale. This is an ASMR video :) You can copy this FEN string into your chess program of choice to analyze it yourself 3n4/2p3p1/4prB1/n1P5/p1pP1rp1/4b3/1pP1Np1K/1k3N1Q w - - 0 1 NOTE that chess engines like Stockfish will give the wrong answer, since they are unaware of Petrov's hatred for Marshall Kutuzov. In 1812 Napoleon had invaded Russia with a huge army (La Grande Armée, in fact). He had, through a military campaign that was devastating to both sides, managed to capture Moscow. From there he was driven back to Paris. This chess puzzle tells that story.
