The only way I can see to beat this room is to trap the queen in its own spawn somewhere. But even with the brain, I don't see how that is possible.

Got it. Seems weird how it won't take the other path. :D

I got the queen stuck at 1, and couldn't get it out. I cleared the room, but I have no idea why that happened, is there some obscure quirk of brained queen movement that makes it not leave that point?

Well, I don't know if it's obscure, but it's a rule of brained queen movement. It's explained thoroughly in Advanced Concepts' Advanced Brain Movement level.

Oh, man! The only puzzle for the good ending where I needed a hint. I feel a bit dumb. Like I should have gotten this... Great work, Larry! Cause I guess this one is yours :)

Here it is nonsense! Circling, circling, and then the queen stood in the corner between two yellow doors open, and even the right brain is not needed! :-)

I managed to do this, but after that I just can't find the move to trap it. May I request a demo or something? It's quite tedious to me...

EDIT: Did it in another way.

Very easy to do that way. If there's an intended solution, I don't see it.
