The queen and bishop on the same diagonal can be very powerful. In a recent game at chess.com, I used my queen and bishop to mate my unsuspecting opponent. In the game, my opponent was Aszasz of Romania who played white. Here are the moves of the game with my commentary:
1. d4 Nf6
2. Bg5 e6
3. Nf3 Be7
4. Nc3 a6
5. e4 Nc6
6. e5 Ng8
7. Bxe7 Ngxe7
I capture with my knight on g8 to bring it back into the game.
8.Bd3 0-0
9. Ne4 b5
10. c4 bxc
11. Bxc4 Bb7
12. Qc2 Nf5
13. 0-0 Nfxd4
I calculate that I can win a pawn.
14. Nxd4 Nxd4
15. Qd3 c5
I push the pawn to keep my knight in the centre.
16. Nd6 Bc6
Here I decide to target the g2 square.
17. Rfe1 Qg5
18. Rad1 Qxg2#
Black fails to notice the mating threat. My queen and bishop provide victory. At this stage, material is quite even. I only have two extra pawns but my powerful queen and bishop are the difference.
