Queen vs 2 Rooks

Sort:
tygxc

2 rooks can attack a pawn twice and thus are generally stronger than 1 queen

It is normally a draw when it is two rooks versus a queen, but in certain circumstances two rooks can be better

he muddled his words up, its 2 rooks are better than 1 queen, not 2 queens are better than 1 rook. That position is very hard to get to, there is no way a good chess player cannot see the back rank mate, and in less than 0.1% of positions is that true. He is also incorrect because he said 'usually' and 0.1% is rare and not usual. That statement is <0.1% true.

2 rooks can be usually better but it would depend on the coordination and compensation that the position has to offer for the defending side. if the one with the rooks has 2 pawns while the queen side has nothing then the rooks win clearly but if the queen has double passed pawns and rooks are not coordinating well then the queen would reign more dominant against the rooks

The Queen is very powerful and versatile, but you would not want to trade it for a single Rook. For that reason two Rooks can combine forces and chase the Queen all over the board and make threats that can't be responded to by exchanging pieces, unless, of course, you can get two Rooks in exchange for the Queen

Rule 1: "It all depends on the position"  But the more minor pieces there are are in the board, the better for the side with the queen. At least that seems to have been Bobby Fischer's belief

I think 2 rooks would be better than 1 queen because they can work together like a conveyor belt to drive your opponent’s king into checkmate. Furthermore, my friend sacrificed his queen for 2 rooks and in his game review, that was a Brilliant Move.

In move 80, he should have played Kh4 instead of Qd4 activating the king as a piece to help.

Well the Queen is better obviously because most people are rated <1500 therefore they're probably going to blunder a rook to a Fork happy.png
