Yeah, that’s what the first comment above was saying. The one I responded to was wondering if a sacrifice is necessary, and I’m pretty sure it 100% is. It’s still trivial to win, but you do need to lose a piece.
Yeah, there are ways it could be done, but only if the other player makes a horrible mistake. You wouldn’t leave an opening like that where the queen can move. Maybe with queens, bishops, and knights combined you could force an opening. I don’t know. It seems unlikely though. I guess a key exploit would be that they have to always move forward, but you can stall forever. Maybe that allows you to exploit a gap.

But the queen can move diagonally between the formation.
