  as i understand it power in chess is only represented by movement, so a 
castle, being the most powerful needed to be the most mobile.
  in the 'original'* game the bishops (advisors) only move one square 
diagonally. the queen moved one square in any direction, like the 
king. knights were elephants which were hard to control in battle, thus 
their 'erratic' movement. thus the castle was the most powerful.

  or maybe it's got to do with the monty python 'house hunter's' sketch.

*i think that it's been decided that the version i read about and am 
refering to as the 'original' was found not to be...
