Chess Endgames | Easiest Way To Mate With The Queen + King vs. King (Unrated-999)

NinetyFour94

The point about using both King and Queen to force mate is an important one. Chess is a team game where your pieces depend on your whole army to get a job done. Since a lone Rook or even Queen can't mate the enemy King, you will have to get your King involved if you wish to score the full point.

Many of us did too, but this is really simple and easy way to mate with the Queen. I use it all the time.
