Queen to b3, Easy Does It
Fianchetto 6.O-O c6 · sung from White's side
Verse 1
Pawn to d4, pawn to c4 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6
Pawn to g3, bishop to g2 3.g3 d5 4.Bg2 Bg7
Knight to f3, castles short 5.Nf3 O-O 6.O-O
He plays c6, same as before 6...c6
His d-pawn presses my c4
I won't trade it, I want more
Chorus
Queen to b3, rook to d1 7.Qb3 a5 8.Rd1
He plays a4, queen to b4 8...a4 9.Qb4
He takes on c4, queen takes back 9...dxc4 10.Qxc4
My queen eyes a4, that's the attack
Verse 2
Pawn to e3, knight to c3 10...Bf5 11.e3 Nbd7 12.Nc3
Queen and knight both press a4
The c-file's half-open, that's my door
Trade on d5 too early? Just a draw
Queens come off, I'm patient, slow
Rook endings, that's where I go
Chorus
Queen to b3, rook to d1 7.Qb3 a5 8.Rd1
He plays a4, queen to b4 8...a4 9.Qb4
He takes on c4, queen takes back 9...dxc4 10.Qxc4
My queen eyes a4, that's the attack
The hook is the whole lesson: the queen goes to b3 to hold c4 rather than swap it off, Black's a-pawn runs to a4 to chase her, and once he takes on c4 White's queen and knight sit on that a4 pawn with the half-open c-file behind them — a slow, endgame-leaning grind, which is exactly why the early exchange on d5 is the thing to avoid.
