With the help of my computer I've stumbled upon a line in a theoretical backwater (of the Center Game of all things ;)  that entails one side giving up his queen for a rook, minor piece and pawn.  I recall when I was younger I looked into one of these lines in the Open defence to the Ruy Lopez but I don't remember the exact moves.

Am wondering if anybody can remind me of that line and/or other similar opening lines where there is such a trade of queen for rook, minor piece and/or pawns.
