Inexperienced players occasionally think that a lone minor piece (i.e., a Bishop or Knight) might be able to put up some resistance versus a lone Queen. Let me assure you that nothing could be further from the truth! We will explore both possibilities (Bishop vs. Queen and Knight vs. Queen) and demonstrate beyond any shadow of doubt that the poor minor piece is completely outgunned. This is a no contest! One poor Bishop can't hope to face off against a mighty Queen!

Just try to keep your king and Queen on opposite coloured squares the Bishop is on so it can’t trouble you at all.
