Hello,
I wonder if there are "typical" manoeuvres in queen endings like there
are some in rook endings. Can someone give me examples please?
Are there general principles in Q+P vs Q endings to say a position is
draw or won?

Sorry, mistake:
S=E4misch won that above-mentioned game, not oczy.=20

Meanwhile I found that oczy's specialty was queen endings. Below is
a small collection of some of his games of that type. Have a closer
look at the game vs S=E4misch. In this he managed to win with Q + 4P vs
Q + 3P with all pawns on the same side. Bit by bit he improves his
position. Maybe I set this up and try my luck vs Crafty. :-)

Centralizing the Queen is certainly important. Also important is
control of the "next" square for the pawn. For example if the white
pawn is on d6, control of the d7 square is important.

If you have an extra pawn, you want to centralize the Queen to shield the
king from checks, along with the extra pawn, or you want to transpose into a
won pawn ending.
The book "Queen Endings" is fascinating.
