Queen Endgame FAQs

Why are queen endgames so difficult?

Because the queen is so powerful, it creates an enormous number of possible checks and threats on every move. This makes long-term calculation very hard, and one mistake can change the result instantly.

What is the most important factor in a queen endgame?

King safety. The position of your king is often more important than the number of pawns you have. A king caught in the open can easily fall victim to a perpetual check or a forced mate.
