3 pieces vs. queen basically means that every subsequent trade is a loss to the other side. Can't trade pieces one for one because there's no minor pieces left to trade away. In that sense, his every remaining major piece is basically an "undefended" piece because everybody will gladly take a rook with a knight, even though it's defended. Never thought of it that way before, but it makes a lot of sense.

Added to that king safety is also equally important I feel, if our king is weak/exposed, this kind of a trade would obviously be catastrophic! The enemy queen can keep checking and at the right moment grab undefended pawns or pieces with some help from the enemy rooks. In the game, white's king was completely safe, so it worked out well.

Thought I'm just a 1200 a do wanna mention for all the beginners* out there that in a Queen vs 3 pieces situation out on open board with an exposed king, it's usually better for the player with the Queen because of possible check for the Q that could pick up isolated pawns and pieces.
@Evilanious
3 жыл бұрын
If you have a material advantage you are supposed to consolidate and keep control of the game. If your king is exposed and you have all kinds of loose and uncoordinated pieces, that gives compensation for a material disadvantage, sure. But such a situation would give your opponent a positional advantage regardless of the material match-up. If your opponent also has an open king and loose pawns left and right your three pieces should have just as many opportunities for forks and tactics as the queen. You might as well say that a rook is better than three minor pieces if the guy with three minor pieces hangs backrank mate.

@kenweeraratne431

Yeah, I think if there are enough pawns/other pieces to shield/defend the minor pieces, the minor pieces can easily work together, but in the endgame, the queen usually can fork some minor pieces, so the queen is definitely better in most endgames. Depends on the situation. Though, from what I see, 3 pieces for a queen is quite an uncommon trade to occur, and usually only occurs after one side sacrifices one or two minor pieces, and the other has to give back their queen to defend.

two bishops in the centre of the board in an endgame scenario can easily outperform a queen, having a knight in addition tips the odds against the side with the queen. The queen's ability to fork isn't really a problem if you just..don't move your king or pieces to positions where they can get forked ie. you aren't a noob

Open games in general queen will overpower. If your pieces wander off on the edge, they are gone. If your king is open, your pieces are gone. If yur pawn structure is bad (Isolated or backwards pawns), they are gone. So many threats and with perfect play on both side, best the side with the minor pieces can get is a draw. If it’s a middle game though, 3 pieces will absolutely dominate. Best the side with the queen can do is try to open the position with pawn breaks, otherwise all you have to do is centralize your pieces and, like we saw here, you control almost the entire board with constant fork and pin threats.

Three pieces can coordinate with each other. A single queen attacking three pieces can't do anything if multiple pieces are both defending each other and attacking at the same time. It'd just be more efficient to have multiple pieces doing many things instead of just having a single piece running around trying not to get caught while attacking.

If following the logic of nominal piece values, then bishops have been shown to be worth slightly more than 3 points (around 3.15 to 3.5 or so). And since 3 minor pieces will necessarily involve at least one bishop, together they will add up to slightly more than 9.

I think the key things that got you a win instead of a draw was the material count before making the trade. If there are less pawns playing for a win gets a lot harder as there often are scenarios where your opponent can just sack the queen in a way that leaves you with two knights and any type of forward and aggressive piece moves get a lot more dangerous on a open board so you might almost be forced to set up a fortress to not risk loosing.

I'd like to add that if you find yourself in the position where you have the queen against 3 pieces, the best way to play it is to try to open up the position as much as possible. There are no absolutes in chess, but most of the time you will be looking for a draw rather than a win, so always check if you can make a perpetual check which is often possible if your opponent is not carefull. Sometimes you can even sacrifice a rook or even two to get a perpetual.

In an endgame, there are positions that three minor pieces win against a lone queen, but there are also positions where the queen can draw the board. If the pieces are uncoordinated there is a possibility that a queen can win. Four minor pieces always win against the queen, regardless of the positions.

pieces are only as useful as their activity. The main downside of the queen vs the pieces is that it can only be 1 attacker at best. The main downside of the 3 pieces is that you can only improve 1 of those 3 pieces at a time essentially they are slow af. So then you can stop and ask yourself what positions are favorable for the pieces, well it happens to be when they can coordinate and their slow piece improvement cannot be abused, you want a stable position where everything is nailed down. If you are playing he same game from the other side with the queen you need your opponent to constantly be off balance so you need them to have loose pieces/pawns stuff that you can quickly create threat after threat on.
@helvete_ingres4717

It's not really true what you say about the 3 pieces, that you can only improve the position of one of them at a time. Easy counterexample: a knight and bishop are on the same diagonal, then moving the knight improves the scope of the bishop at the same time. Thinking of the offensive potential, this very same discovery could not only open a discovered attack on the enemy king, but a double check if the knight were also to move into an attacking position - this is the most powerful and forcing kind of move in all of chess, and notably cannot be performed by a queen. Three pieces in their own way have an agility and a synergy that a lone queen cannot match

I’ve seen people at low ELO have three pieces versus a queen, and just kind of left the majority of their material in the corner. While the other side just kept saying “ooh a queen move”

I know this video is a year old but I had a similar situation where I got 2 pieces and a rook against a queen and they just couldn’t get any counterplay. This helped me understand that piece coordination is key. Can you make a video about 2 rooks vs queen?

1,3,5,9 is 80 (eighty!) years out of date. I refer to Larry Kaufmann's article april 99 Chess life magazine (over 20 years ago!) and more recently by GM Dr,Larry Kaufmann N/B = 3.5, B+B=7.5, R= 5.25, Q=10, so if we have a Bpair (7.5) plus a knight +3.5 =11 > 10 even 3x3.5>10, of course relative values are extremely mutable and prone to exceptions. queens are really about 12 in games of young beginners

this game is like a turn based rpg where all characters have 100 attack but 0 defense. even weak ass pawn can kill a queen.

The thing about assigning values to the pieces is that it's a general guild not a thing set in stone or written into the laws of the universe. In some situations the knight is more valuable than the bishop, in others the bishop is more valuable. Depending on the situation, a pawn can be more valuable than a queen. The only piece whose value is set and never changes is the king. But a brilliant display, drove the point home there without question.

Its kinda logic. Put 3 pieces in the middle of the board en count the amount of options they have. Compared to a Queen on the middle of the board. Then the second point is. A queen can only attack something once. While 3 pieces can cooperatie to attack something 3 times.

This is why I rather have the queens outta board because those 3 pieces can attack simultaneously while the queen can only be 1 piece. Remember that the queen needs another piece to deliver checkmate (excluding backrank checkmate)

Before watching: it’s simple really. The queen has more squares it can effect individually. Thus it should have no problem setting up forks. But three pieces can easily protect each other, meaning that for the queen to take even a single piece without dying would be hard. Taking a second piece without dying should be impossible. Thus, the three pieces are better.

The pawn on f2 is a blunder, because if the rook takes, the bishop takes the rook and the other rook takes.

Points wise it's a win for white, since a bishop and pawn is 4, while a rook is 5.

I want to see a real game situation played in a tournament (1200 +, all the way up to GM level) where in the position, one side is ahead in material by a queen and pawn vs 3 minor pieces, the side with the queen has 1 minor piece, the side without the queen has 4 minor pieces, the side with the queen has at least 4 total pawns, both players make at least 7 moves without capturing or blundering material, and the side with the queen is in a better position.

I knew an IM, a state champion, who'd almost always immediately trade his queen for 3 pieces, or for a rook and a piece, if the opportunity allowed. He could triangulate with the extra pieces exceptionally well, where his opponents' queen would usually wind up being a weakness.

Positioning is also very important when it comes to whether or not you would value the three pieces over your pawn. If you can take 3 developed pieces in a similar exchange that would be huge

I feel like he should have played f7-f5 asap, to get rid of that e4 pawn, instead of letting the knight jump in ... that b5-b4 move wasn't doing anything, in fact it even gave a target to that knight.

Excellent video! But even after watching this video I think I would weigh the Queen equal to 3 pieces (especially 2 knights and a bishop..maybe two bishops and a knight are stronger). I feel in your case having the 2 rooks developed (and many pawns) played a key role in restricting the queen's mobility. Say for eg starting from 3:38 , imagine there were no rooks on the board...i think it would be an equal game.
