White to move
Mate with the queen
What it’s about
- Your queen builds a box around the enemy king. Stay a knight’s jump away from it – the box gets smaller with every move.
- Once the king is on the edge, stop chasing it. Bring your own king – the queen cannot mate on her own.
- Watch out for stalemate: if the king has no move left and is not in check, the game is a draw!
