in middle game Q and in endgame 2R
which is more powerful queen or two rooks?
Sort:
Rooks can create two threats on a piece but a queen has better mobility. A queen is best for picking up pawns in the endgame. In my opinion, the tipping point is that a rook can help get the king to safety through castling
In most of the games I play, the more pieces on the board the better.
Meaning even though a queen is the best piece on the chess board, two rooks can
1. protect each other AND attack stuff simultaneously when on the same file
2. can overpower a Queen in most endgames like this one:
It is true that Black had a better position from the start, but the point is he was able to take the Queen and still have a rook to checkmate White.
Also, there are quite a bit of missed opportunities I think but that is just how I would usually play myself. And im under 1000 in standard sooo

On move 8 black could have pinned the queen to the king but good example.

The dependence is on the following:
1. King Safety>Q. As you have shown before, @sachin884, king safety is important for the queen to flex.
2. Activity> Can prefer both. If the piece is not active, the opponent gains tempo to build a defense or attack.
3. Open or Closed Position> Can prefer both. Open positions prefers the rooks usually prefer rooks, as they can cover more squares. While in closed positions, the queen's diagonal power makes it shine.
4. Pawn islands>Q. The queen attacks more pawns if there are more pawn islands when the king comes in.
5. Rook Connection>R. The connections of the rooks make the rooks secure from the queen.

In a more closed position, the queen may have an advantage due to the ability to move diagonally. In an open position, rooks rule.

Most of the time i feel 2 Rooks are stronger but it still depends on the position whether the 2 rooks have co-ordination or the queen is able to pick up pawns
Queen = 9
Two rooks = 10
but really it’s situational
