Apparently, you trade all peace.

In the endgame, 2 connected rooks can defend pretty good against a queen.

I would ask another question, if you have two options, to trade a knight for a rock or to capture a knight for free, what would you choose?

Depends on how nice the rock looks.

What if it was a Moon rock?

I would queen trade. I suck with queens on the board.

Avatar of akhilvenkat

A pawn

It's depending on the position. Once I traded queen for two rock and to retain my night. I end up winning the match easily. I already had material advantage and opponents king still stuck in the center which made my life easy.

If you give up 3 minor pieces for a queen in the opening position you would probably be losing. In this position White would probably be losing

From the opening I would want 3 minor pieces since it will take a while for the rooks to get into the game. Or the e,f,g pawns and 2 minors

You are probably right. I will run your start position thru and see what it comes up with.

So, Black won easily. Anyone got a top Machine to try the same exercise, and see whether White can do better?

A lot of it really has to do with position.

If your King is well defended, the three pieces can overpower the Queen, as she can't trade with any of them.

However, if your King isn't defended, the Queen can really cause a lot of problems. If she gets 1 of the pieces, you're at a serious disadvantage.

I don't mind giving up 2 Rooks if I get a Queen and pawn back. I would definitely give up Rook and minor piece for Queen.

I agree with this as the game can change in a single move,  but it is important to know the situation you're in and make the final move to which benefits you the best.
