what should I do if I lose the queen

Just play on if you're under 1000 rating. At our level, the person is just as likely to lose their Queen a few moves later, or get greedy and promote more Queens and stalemate a draw.

Did you sacrifice the queen for checkmate or defense or did you trade your queen?

Queen one of your pawns.

resign

Sacrifice the king

Henry VIII just got a new queen every time that happened.

Keep playing. Playing on means you are not emotionally affected at all.

Never resign. Try to be as annoying as possible. Like a sibling.

Hey, if you ever lose your queen in a chess game, that's ok. We all make mistakes!

It truly depends on the material you got back for it, the situation. But if you're ever losing, you can keep playing if your opponents are under 700-1000 Elo. Usually better opponents, like above 1000+ Elo will not let you go.

Keeping pieces on the board gives you more chances to complicate.

Just resign

Here's what to do if you lose your Queen! 👇

DON'T panic. If you panic, you're most likely going to end up making worse moves. If you're under 1200, just keep going, because you never know what's going to happen next. Here's an example:

In this example, white is down a total queen but manages to turn the table using an effective strategy- aggressiveness. In order to achieve that, you need to have a mindset. "I have nothing to lose anyway, so I'll just try as hard as I can to pressure them." Take this example: My basketball team was playing the second half down 30 points against a much stronger team. What did we do? We went crazy, and won the game by one. Sweet, sweet triumph. When you're down a queen, in short, make a plan and attack. Well.

If you're over 1200, you will have a less chance of winning, but pressuring and time trouble may turn tables. Also, with odds [like Queen vs 2 minor pieces or Queen vs Bishop+Rook], it's easier to defend and make plans. I've beaten people with Rook odds [blundering my rook] this way.

If you have any more questions, I'm happy to answer them!

Be aware that losing the queen is not always something that puts you in a completely losing position. I once had a game where my opponent hung mate in 1, but not in the way I thought, and I lost my queen to a sniper bishop.

However, due to a number of factors...

• I had all four minor pieces; he only had one (THAT DARNED BISHOP). So, the material was actually quite equal.
• My king was extremely safe, with virtually nothing attacking it, while his was right in the center.
• My rooks were breathing down the center files, both of which were open. Meanwhile, neither of his rooks had moved even once.
• His queen was basically forced to play defense because of his badly misplaced king.

...the position (I was White) actually had a +4 evaluation after my terrible mistake. Ultimately, after going on a little tirade and reassuring myself that I was definitely still winning, I continued. I wasn't able to win the queen back, but I was able to use my highly active rooks and bishop pair to force a checkmate on his very exposed king. (And then he stalled to timeout and blocked me. LOL)
