      Can you give me a recommendation for how to win when you blunder a queen 👑?

        Keep playing and look for blunders on their side. The lower your level the more likely that will happen. Trust me, I’ve blundered a lot of queens. Fast checkmate tactics are nice like backrank tactics. The higher level the game the less this works.

        • I played one recent memorable game where I offered up my queen like on move 6. Knowing that I was gonna lose now, all the stress melted away and I just tried to play actively and look for tactics. My opponent must have assumed I was gonna resign cause they played very passively and started making mistakes. I ended up trapping their queen in the middle of the board! Then I went on to win by checkmate. So never give up. (Of course 95% of the time I’ll lose when I give away significant material)
