<p>Adamstep: Undo revision 9261 by ZnM (talk). The piece is called &quot;Queen&quot;, not &quot;Hand&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>Games that start with a Queen Bee as the first bug tend to create a stalemate between equally skilled players.<br /> <br /> White is often viewed as the aggressor because it goes first.<br /> <br /> It is easiest to surround a Queen that has been immobilized. You can trap the Queen in three ways:<br /> * using the One Hive rule by placing something in a way that moving the Queen would break the hive<br /> * Using the Freedom of Movement rule, by placing three or more tiles around the Queen to block exit paths<br /> * by placing a beetle on top of the Queen - this can also sometimes let you place new pieces directly next to the enemy Queen!<br /> <br /> Avoid playing any of your strongest pieces first, as the first piece is often trapped by the one hive rule for much of the game.</div>
