Alan Medic Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm nearing the end of a game (online) playing black. I have remaining King, Queen and 2 pawns V The same plus a rook.I'm in a position to sacrifice my Queen for his rook thinking if I do this his only threat will be his Queen as I figure our pawns will cancel each other out.Do I have any chance of a draw or would the advantage of having a Queen lead to inevitable victory? None of the pawns are anywhere near the other end of the board.I'm quite a rookie at this game.

Townleygreen Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I would expect him to win fairly easily if he has king+queen+2 pawns vs. your king+2 pawns. It's rarely ever worth sacrificing a Q for a R.

numbers Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 agree, never ever sacrifice your queen. you need to read up on end games, there are so many possibilities. I was going to start a chess club in ED once. meeting in the pub, naturally.
