If you wanna swindle, do it right. 8. Qe5+? is punished by 8. .. Qd5! and black wins. Instead, 8. Qd6+! gets white the swindle stalemate or a repetition.

Sometimes, you are just dead lost and need to swindle one. I did just that last night against another 2000 player. I am White below.
White is dead lost, but how do you possibly swindle Black here?
The Eternal Rook Draw is more common than the Eternal Queen Draw, but both are effective. You simply cannot allow cross checks or interposed pieces that remove the stalemate situation.
