Is there a name for this "trap" for the queen in chess?
Is there a name for the position in which the queen takes a rook in one corner of the border and then the opponent's knight moves to "trap" the queen in the corner for a certain time? The queen is in the corner and there's still a bishop on the same rank with a rook or queen protecting it, and effectively the queen cannot move anywhere without capture, at least for a while. I was wondering if there's a conventional name for this situation.

Corner?
Reminds me of the Fork where the opponent has to choose between two important pieces. If he moves one the other dies.
