2R > Q most often. Unless the pawn structure is badly broken, or blocked for the
rooks. With passers the Queen is usually doomed. It has problems blocking pawns.
Q > R+X+P if there are no advanced passers.
3X > Q, X=B,N more often than not. And not uncommonly cases 2X = Q, there are
lots of such games.
2B > 2N unless the pawn formation is fluid.
And with reduced material Q+N attacks better than Q+B. This is contested,
Capblanca thought otherwise.
And R+B > R+N unless the pawn position is ragged and the knight can post or
block.
