Originally posted by DeepThoughtNope, not including direct pins. I'm thinking positions where she has a fair to high number of legal moves, but none of them save her [or they allow something even worse, like mate or loss of more than 9 points].
So you want positions where the queen is in checkmate so to speak - does this include pins, because I've no end of games that went 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qc6 4. Bb5...

I have a few but these twp appear to have stuck in my mind.

Originally posted by vivifyRules are only guidelines. The reason for the "don't bring the Q out early" rule is that the opponent tends to win free tempos by attacking her. But in GP's position, there's no ...Nc6 to bother her, and ...e5 weakens the d-pawn.
For the first game, why did you break the revered "don't move your queen early" rule?

Not very high level playing, I was already a piece up, but was pleased to be able to have the queen trapped.

Lots of examples how to do this in this thread. Choose a post and click "Reply & Quote" to see the text of their post to see how they did it. RHP lets you grab the PGN of any game also, making the whole process easy-peasy.
