	Queen (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beginners often accidentally interchange the placement of the queen and king, thus the mnemonic "queen on her color." The white queen starts on a white square, and the fl queen on a fl square.
		The queen can be moved in a straight line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, any number of unoccupied squares as shown on the diagram at the left, thus combining the moves of the rook and bishop.
		Piececlopedia: Queen by Fergus Duniho and Hans Bodlaender.

	Chess - Simple English Wikipedia
		From the left, a white king, fl rook and queen, white pawn, fl knight, and white bishop.
		A good way to remember where it goes is to remember that the queen starts on the same color square it is, so the white queen starts on a white square (the fourth square on the white player's first row) and vice versa.
		Many games of chess end when one player sees that the other player will win soon, and so says aloud that he or she has lost.

	Chess openings: Queen's Indian (E12)
		That is not complete repertoire since Queen Pawn is easy alternative (and a very dangerous one for fl) in case you want to bust centerless defence players.
		I went through a phase when I was younger where I wanted to play the Queen's Gambit but this expert at the club kept playing the Budapest which was kind of off topic, so I learned the Colle System as a sort of beginning QP opening.
		For example, i don't think Queen's Gambit players lack the patience to play positionally(if they do, they are playing the wrong opening), and this isn't a particularly theoretical opening either.

	Making Light: Fairy Chess (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

		Throughout the song, the moves of a chess game are recited, beginning with "Pawn to king four", "Pawn to queen's bishop four" and "Knight to queen's bishop three".
		For example, in chess, a person who creates puzzles and problems to be solved is called a composer, and two different sequences of moves that lead from one given position to another are said to be related by transposition.
		Some other terms that are used in chess and music are: play, piece, notation, score, tempo, theme, variation, development, minimal composition, round, major and minor, position, second, retrograde, mirror, attack, anticipation, phase and echo.
