Hi.
May I rephrase
"More than 1400 years ago, [..], the queen was the weakest piece, its move being limited to the four squares diagonally adjacent to the squares the queen was sitting on."

as

"More than 1400 years ago, [..], the queen was the weakest piece, because its move was limited to the four squares diagonally adjacent to the squares the queen was sitting on."?

what about

"More than 1400 years ago, [..], the queen was the weakest piece, as its move was limited to the four squares diagonally adjacent to the squares the queen was sitting on."?

What does it mean exactly?

Because he wasn't telling you why the Queen was the weakest piece, he was telling that she was and supporting that with facts.

I suppose he could have, but strictly speaking, it's not a causal relationship.
