but... why

chessisNOTez884

vishnu why you are not interested in viewing blogs?

you are acting like this after you lost against jo

is that the reason?

depends if you are losing

It depends. If Queen vs 2 rooks with pawns, usually queen. Without pawns, 2 rooks usually can outnumber the queen. Both can occur in endgames.

I would say that two rooks are more powerful when they are connected

It depends.

Material: queen (9 pawns) vs. 2 rooks (10 pawns): winner: 2 rooks

In open games I vote for 2 rook as they can control more space and provide much more tactics chances covering each other.

In a bit closed games I would probably prefer a queen due to it's ability to move diagonally and enter some spaces not available to rooks.

rook

chessisNOTez884

everyone see this game it is a chesskid blitz game

in this game i was black

and it was queen vs 2 rooks

here i sacrificed 2 of my rooks just to destroy his king's safety

so by this i kept some checks and in which he played a blunder by which i forked king and queen and won the game

so here we can say that queen is better than rooks if the king does not have safety

i would still say that two rooks are stronger but only if they are connected, because otherwise like in the game you posted the queen can cause a pin or fork and you will lose the rook.  

chessisNOTez884

yes 

chessisNOTez884

yes but at the same time king safety also matters
