It can move any number of squares horizontally, diagonally, or vertically, which is more than most other pieces can do. The Knight can move in an L shape, which the queen can't, but that's also the ONLY way a Knight can move. Short of levitation (which involves leaving the surface of the board and, thereby, the game itself), the queen can move any direction
The queen cannot move in any direction that is not a straight line at a multiple of a 45 degree angle from its starting point as the origin aligned to the grid.
So... just to reiterate: The Queen can move in any direction as long as it doesn't leave the board. No one said it can move in multiple directions in one turn o.O
No. Not any direction. I literally stated the variety of directions a queen can move. Nothing more acutely or obtusely than a 45 degree angle from her position aligned to the grid. There are infinitely more directions between the directions she could move that she cannot. If she could move in any direction she could move to any space on the board that doesn't have a piece in between her and the space which very much so isn't the case.

I get what you're saying, and you're right. However, she is the Queen after all, and she may well decide upon a non-traditional path. After all, who could tell her no?
