No you don’t. There are many checkmates possible with out a queen. And by the way aviation18, the king is the most important piece

The king can be important in value

but it is not important in attacking

(unless you count this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHcMY3Jvo2s)

Well, not necessarly, but it does help. There are many ways to win a game without your queen. I recommend practicing using special puzzels created specifically for that purpose.

In fact, you can use every other piece to checkmate, if in some cases they have help

Definitely not, the games not over till it is. Blundering a queen still has room for a comeback

Avatar of aviation18

Definitely, down a queen is bad. However you can make a comeback always as @chipl3y mentioned
