toatally, I thought u guys meant the weaker side with no queen, ya trade evenly if ur ahead on material
What happens if you are a queen up
The object of the game is checkmate. Material is important only in the sense that it is easier to mate your opponent with more material
This is one of those threads where people say lots of really obvious stuff.
If you have the extra queen, go for the kill. Bring any other pieces (major,minor or even pawns) and go for their king. If it's a endgame with few pieces, bring your king out or first eliminate the pieces.
If you lost your queen, take a look at the position before resigning. Things to look for (This all is what your opponent has): Exposed king, weak pieces, cramped position. This is what your position needs: Active pieces, safe king, and a flexible plan.
I've been some major material down but in tournaments fight for as long as you can. My USCF rating is 1571
What do you do when you are a queen up?
you win...
