I think the edge of Q+N by better players is due to the fact that in order to
win your game against a lower rated opponent you have to create inequalities
('life') in the position. And the fact that a better player might be able to
better asses the unequal endgames and therefore are more inclined to go for
them. As well as the fact that they are better and therefore should win more
games. Anyone who has seem felt the pressure to win against exchanging,
woodpushing patzers hundreds of points below oneself in weekend tournaments,
know the lenght you are ready to go to get that extra half point. But if your
opponent has a weak kings position the Q+N is definitelly worth much, at least
in inner peace and gained thinking time.
