Queen endgame

Queen endgames are decided by checks and by pawn races. The side with the queen can often force a repetition or pick up a pawn, unless the opponent has a dangerous passed pawn.

Use checks to improve your king or to stop the enemy pawn. Do not trade queens if the resulting pawn ending is lost.
