Checkmate with Queen and King

Checkmating with a King and a Queen is a very useful endgame technique, since it is needed on a regular basis. It is considered relatively straight-forward and easy to learn. The main idea is to try to push the opponent's king towards one of the corners of the chessboard, where it can be checkmated. Practice your ability to checkmate with a king and a queen by trying to beat the engine in the position below:
