This is what I call a 'Chessmate'.  When one's queen is doomed, no matter what.

It was a live chess game I played a little while ago.  Here is some dialogue that took place during the game:

Opponent: (swear word removed)

NoahJ: no swearing

NoahJ: or I take all your other queens

Opponent: i blew this totally game

Game over - NoahJ won by checkmate (+44) - rematch

It's normally called a "trapped queen."
