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.
