Not necessarily. The Queen sacrifice occurs regularly to set up a winning position. But you better know what you are doing.
Which I obviously don't. I know the rules of how to play chess. But not enough to be more than an amateur.

And whats with putting all those pawns on the frontline, man! Its like theyre expendable or something. Its pure exploitation, man. Chess needs a new rule for the pawns -- bail.
From now on, in lieu of a move, any piece other than the Knight, can choose to bail out a removed pawn and place it in front of the piece if the square is vacant.

“While they’re at it, they should demand that the Bishop be removed as a piece on religious persecution grounds, and be replaced with a Protester.”
They should also make the King another Queen.

I submit to the world that the SUN is racist and has been since the beginning of time. Its obvious rule over the black of night shows its obvious bias. The sun is warm and comforting but the night is cold and scary.
Abolish the sun NOW!!!! BLACK NIGHTS MATTER!!!

There is only one fair way to solve this. Make all the chess pieces on both sides gray. See, its simple. But then how could you tell which pieces were yours? I dont know. Im a big ideas guy. Plus its almost time for my nap.
Ill leave it to someone else to work out the details.

1. Every time the black player loses his rook (castle,) the white player must provide him a new one.
2. Black kings may never be check-mated.
3. The black queen should be allowed any number of kings, some imprisoned, but only one or two on the board at any given time.
4. Black kings are to move in the standard way except when imprisoned (formerly check-mated,) at which time they may disappear for a length of time of their choosing. During their absence they may play in other games.
5. White knights may not jump over black players.
6. The black pawn must automatically be promoted at any time, for any reason.

Sure it’s racist. You have a white team and a black team. It would be fun, though, to rewrite chess rules to reflect “white privilege” (i.e. white bishops and rooks can move interchangeably, black knights can only move laterally, etc.)

OBVIOUSLY!
Black makes up 13.3% of the US population, yet the black pieces win 50% of the time!

Yet chess also routinely offers the experience of having a White King menaced by a Black Queen. I don’t know how that can be anything but highly affirming for the Black LGBTQ crowd.
To: Pining_4_TX
When we played, someone would take a black and white pawn, put them behind his back, move them from hand to hand, then bring them out front. The opposing member would then chose one hand, and what ever color it was is what you played.
To: Red in Blue PA
Not everything is racist. Just those things I don't like.
