The endgame of checkers versus minor pieces is almost always an elementary win.
In exceptional cases , a draw can be achieved by combining different motifs such as bondage and stalemate , perpetual chess , fork or spit .

Continuous check after 1. Ng4 – h6 + Kg8 – h8 2. Ng6 – f7 + or dead position with only two kings, if the queen gives up against the knight.
Queen against two minor pieces
The queen's final game against two minor pieces is mostly won by the queen's party. The minor piece party can hold a draw if its king and the two pieces can build a fortress . Two knights against a queen are successful if they are next to each other near their king. Theoretically, the queen's party almost always wins against a runner and a knight as well as against the pair of runners , whereby the win against the runners is sometimes very complicated and lengthy. In particular against the pair of bishops, winning the game, assuming optimal play on both sides, can fail due to the 50- move rule . Against two bishops of the same color, which practically never happens, the queen wins relatively easily.
Queen and minor against queen
In most cases the endgame is a queen and minor piece drawn against queen. If the stronger side comes to the concentrated attack, however, a profit is often possible, which can be based on forced draft positions . The endgame was particularly studied by the Belgian chess composer Julien Vandiest .
Queen against three minor pieces
The final queen against three minor pieces is usually a draw. Occasionally, the checkers have to be careful not to lose the checkers by a fork or a skewer . The minor piece party, on the other hand, must be careful not to lose any of its pieces to a double attack or a spike.
Finals with pawns
Queen versus minor and pawn
The final queen against minor figure and pawn is usually won for the queen party. There are exceptions when the pawn has moved up to his seventh row and is supported by a king or minor piece. In these cases the minor piece party can often reach a draw; sometimes she can aim for one of the few draw positions in the final queen against pawn .
Queen against two minor pieces and a pawn
In the final queen against two minor pieces and a pawn, the minor piece party usually has a good chance of a draw.
