would you trade a queen for two rooks

this is a positive trade, but no one seems to like doing it. share your thoughts.

I always do this

Most often

Yes.  Not only do I gain a slight material advantage, but my opponent has usually given up two active pieces for one active piece.

I probably should have added "generally."  Most of the time, I will make the trade.

Depends on the position. Would you mind sharing one?

Unless I do it at least once every game, I can't call it a masterpiece.

here's a position. in this case, black decided against the trade.

In bullet yes.  In blitz and rapid sometimes. 

no

It depends on the position

just a casual knock about no clocks with a few mates in the library today , got a cracking game where i traded my queen for two rooks , 

time wasnt an issue mind you so there was no hectic house about stopping the queen sniping pawns whilst i took full advantage of the twin rooks , 

I normally trade my queen for the opponents two rooks, but it depends on the opponent. Most of the time it seems to be a favorable trade. 

For beginners, trading off both rooks simultaneously almost always spells suicide. Sure, you get your opponent's queen off the board, but unless their position is very weak (passive/pinned rooks, for example), their rooks will cut you down without mercy.

no a queen is so much better

     In an ending with only the mentioned pieces (plus pawns) left the rooks will be stronger. In a middle game where the queen can co-ordinate with other pieces to create mating threats the rooks will have greater difficulty.
