Description
First Part: White Queen on the move
The eighth move is quite dramatic.
To keep the balance, the White Queen has to attack the Black Queen. If she does not, the Black Queen will capture her.
Black Queen offers herself as sacrifice - she knows, the White Queens sacrifice will follow next.
A queen will move in a slow pace, not as hasty as the Bishop (Läufer = runner) in the Third Move White
