Mar 10, 2020 at 7:26 comment added bof And in Alekhine's Defense there's the line 1. e4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. e5 d4 4. exf6 dxc3 5. fxg7 cxd2+ 6. Qxd2 Qxd2+ 7. Bxd2 Bxg7
Mar 9, 2020 at 10:24 comment added Ian Bush If you are making a collection there's also the fairly common Old Indian line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3. Nc3 e5 4. dxe5 dxe5 5. Qxd8 Kxd8
Mar 8, 2020 at 13:00 comment added bof Then there's 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bxb2 d5 6. Bxd5 Nf6 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7 8. Qxd8 Bb4+ 9. Qd2 Bxd2+ 10. Nxd2 but that's not much use unless you can find an opponent who plays the Danish Gambit. Personally I've never seen it on the board.

Mar 8, 2020 at 10:49 comment added PhishMaster Another set of books that is outstanding, but does not focus on queen trades, is "Mastering the Endgame" volumes 1+2 (e4 and d4) by Shereshevsky and Slutsky. They focus on the typical endgames for the various openings, so it may not be minus queens, but they can help have your position ready for the endgame so when the queens do come off, you will, hopefully, have a great endgame.
