Qxc7 89. Rxc7 f1=Q 90. Rcc2 1/2-1/2 This position is dead draw because black can't make significance progress for e.g 90...Kh3 91.Kb7 g2 92.Rxg2 Qxg2+ 93.Rxg2+ Kxg2 and only both King were left on the board. White's pair of rook just sit together along the second rank to prevent (capture) black passed pawn on g3 to pass trough white's second rank.

According to Fundamental Chess Endings by GM Karsten Muller and Frank Lamprecht, Two rooks usually match a queen and a pawn but the specific features of the given position are very importanant.



Below is some of the comment from the readers about the game.

Kevinatcausa : Excellent pun, and fun game. Nifty how the first two Queens both sacrifice themselves to enable their successors

Kevin86: Nice pun and punny game;no matter how many times black queens,it's still Q vs two rooks.
