Queen Vs 3 minor pieces

Yo, Begginer here.

I've been told on many occasions that a queen is less valuable in almost all situations than three minor pieces. This is obviously such a rare even to happen anyway in a game,  but are there any master games that have at any point in the game a situation where one person has a queen and the other player has 3 minor pieces?

Thanks

I remembered this one from 2021. But yeah 3 minor pieces can be just as good as a queen depending on the activity of your opponents queen. I would say that's only a possibility for high rated players tho. It only works if you have good piece coordination. If you watch the end of this game, it's the perfect example of well coordinated defending. Anish's queen looks as useless as a pawn.
