Both of us have 5 pawns. It is essentially a queen vs two rooks.Position and pawn structures are both solid?

Question

What is winning?

Answer 1

The side with rooks is in a better position to win as it has two powers. One can continually check the opponent king while the other watches the pawns. Though it may seem like the queen's all-directional movement is an advantage, it is not. Once the queen moves to attack a pawn, she leaves the king AND the pawns vulnerable.

Answer 2

In a positionally equal situation like that, 2 rooks will overcome the queen by ganging up on the pawns, unless there is a way for the queen to force a draw through perpetual check.

Answer 3

Queen vs Two Rook endings tend to be very equal and often end in a draw. The Queen will benefit when there are lots of pawns on the board (which hinder the rooks) or if the pawn structure isn't solid (to pick up loose pawns easier).

However in the situation you describe, the pawn structure being solid with some open files I believe it will be the rooks that will have the advantage.

Answer 4

not enough info-what squares are the pawns on,kings,are the rooks doubled,where is the queen-give me a full positionand I could give an answer.

Answer 5

Rooks should prevail through pressure with guard.
