"Queen in the corner" trap

Sort:
BigOto

I totally owned my opponent in a game in which I trapped their rook with my queen. Be careful when you have a rook, knight, and both pawns unmoved in this position, because your opponent might just try to threaten this trap!

thats a nice game,but instead of 14.Ne4+ u should have played Bf4+ then Ke7 and Nd5 get the Queen

This position illustrates a common theme, with all irrelevant pieces stripped away. Off course other pieces would be on the board too.

lol your queen went on a rampage, taking everything!

 

that puzzle reminds me of a game (Euwe-Capablanca, Amsterdam 1931)
