With all the respect master, but this is an ancient point of view that does not
hold for computerchess at all. Two rooks can capture an isolated pawn and one
sole queen cannot prevent that. I say it's about even. Try to play an endgame
with a queen versus 2 rooks, with Diep against Tiger or Gandalf.

Best regards,
