Question

How can one win in chess with a king and a queen playing against a king and a knight?

Answer 1

just try to get the opponents king in a corner , but you have to use both king and queen together , if u know a littlt bit of chess than u know what i mean to say bcoz in chess everything cant be explained and moves are not learned they are created

Answer 2

Capture the knight with the queen and then use the king and queen to force the opponent's king into a corner.

Answer 3

i'd have to say it'd be a draw.  you'd just have the king being checked all the time if the knight was dead and you can't place two kings next to one another because that would put them into check...

i mean, i guess you could have a king and then a queen and then the king, but that's the only way

Answer 4

Force the king onto an outer square.  Pin the knight with the queen.  Or put the queen on to the outer row where the knight can not capture the queen or block.

Answer 5

I once had this ending in a tournament game.  It's an easy win for the side with the Queen.  You basically proceed with the winning plan in K+Q vs. K of herding the opposing King toward the edge of the board.  The Knight can't cover enough squares to seriously impede progress.  Just make sure you don't allow a Knight fork along the way.

Answer 6

kill the knight

the guide the opposing king to corner for the squeeze

Answer 7

If you get that far, you may just want to call it a draw !

Answer 9

Force the opponent's king and knight apart, then pick off the knight using a fork, a pin, discovered check, etc.

Then its just king and queen vs. king, so force the other king to a corner and checkmate him there (or you can do it on a side- have his king along the edge, your king two spaces from his king (so that he cannot move off the edge), and your queen on the same edge so that the queen is taking away the lateral movement)
