This is called Scholar's Mate. Here is a PDF handout which describes one way of avoiding it:

Probably the highest lever game ever to begin with 2.Qh5 was

I think Woody Harrelson vs Kasparov trumps that one:

Is Woody rated over 2200?

Are you serious? or is this a wind up because of your 4 games in progress this applies in precisely no games. Well except Game 2784198 where you offer a draw despite being a Rook up.

He is when he has Yasser Seirawan helping him, as he did in this game.

1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 Nc6 3.Bc4 g6 is what I found works best.

Isn't he the guy who had a great "teacher" who told him he should be playing the sicillian?

How can you say that "trumps" it when the final result is a draw?

Looking at the opening it should be fairly easy to get safe while developing the black pieces:

1.e4...e5
2.Qh5?...Nc6
3.Bc4 (I'm assuming the whole opening is an amatuerish hack at f7)... then black has a few options- Qe7, Nh6 (on the rim is grim!) & my choice - g6. Then the queen has to "go away" to be polite.

After g6, look to fianchetto the bishop to g7, knight f6 etc..

Hardly time to resign, eh?😛
