Checkmating a queen.

Could one of those nice, friendly titled players anylise this game for me? I'm particulaly interested in the queen's position, and when it was forced to be lost. And how good black's attack was.

I don't know to much about chess or stratigy, but it seem to me to have been a fairly evenly matched game.

I can tell you how the queen was checkmated

It started with Qh5, black should have played Qh3. After f4 the queen can only avoid being taken by going to g6 (which it did) or h3 which could be followed with Bxf6 ...gxf6 Bg4+ which would have checkmated the queen.

I've never heard the term of a queen being "checkmated", maybe "pinned" but I don't know.
SeanMcD001

The term checkmate can only apply to a king if another piece is "checkmated" then it is called being pinned.

First, thankyou yoshiboy for the answerCool. I think both me and my opponent missed Qh3.

As regards checkmating, it is not a pin. this is a pin:

The queen cannot move. In the game it was not a pin, but not checkmate either. Perhaps "attackmate" would be more correct. But I never meant to imply that checkmate was an official term for it. But the queen cannot escape and material must be lost.

Ah, I think you're right about the attackmate vs pinned thing.
