Someone mentioned resigning without a queen and it got me thinking

You're playing at a rating where recovering from losing your Queen is certainly possible. If you want a drill, try playing against bots and hanging your Queen early to see what you need to do to recover. For you to recover, your opponent needs to make a blunder but that's quite likely given the rating. Try setting traps for your opponent's Queen. Pins, forks and discovered checks, are the most obvious traps but there are many more to discover.
