How easy, or I should say, how difficult is it to win the game? Are your hopes dependent strictly on a future oversight of your opponent?

well is it a sac, or is the queen lost by blunder?

I would say that totally depends on your opponents strength. If they won the queen by outplaying you, chances are you will probably lose if they don't blunder. If you blundered to lose the queen however and your opponent is weak, you probably still have a decent shot at winning.

You make good points...thx. I find I lose my Queen when a Bishop is guarded by a Knight and My King is in danger...it's a trap and I often fall for it.

I won this game but he played pretty bad for the first half of the game and I played fairly erratic the second half.

Game 3013226 Lost my queen for his Rook and Knight. To win this type of game, you need to put the queen out of play. This game probably exemplifies that. Move 28 knocks the game in blacks favor...
