I've been told once that there is a defence against scholars mate (e4, e5, qa5...) which results in white loosing his queen?

i don't quite remember how its done anymore, can one care to remind me? or does it not actually exsit?

There is also a defence against having sensitive body parts crushed in a vice. It generally involves not putting them in there in the first place.

The white queen becomes quite loose, and is usually vulnerable. Black deploy her pieces harmoniously attacking it. But there are no lines where white loses the queen by force without additional blunders (scholar's mate requires both strategic errors by white and tactical blunders by black).

As others have told you, don't play stupid.

It does not exist.
