Not that I consider myself an 'experienced player' but there was a thread a month or so ago regarding handicaps (a higher rated player playing minus a piece against a lower rated player) and someone listed a handicap system equivelent to the difference in their rating points, if you found that thread it might identify the value of the queen in terms of rating points. But the answer isn't really going to help you improve is it? far better to put your energies into learning something practicle/useful. If you are aware of the concept of simplifying (when a piece up trading pieces with the objective of trading right down to 2 pieces versus 1 piece when the advantage of that extra piece becomes more significant) you can see that being a queen down is a dire position to be in
