i just started playing chess about 3 weeks ago so im pretty much a beginner.
i have not really found a way to counter this witho ...[text shortened]... matter what color she is either, she will do this strategy.

any help would be appreciated.

ok ive figured it out.
play 1. h4 and 2. a4
this will put a complete stop to your sister's plans!

Fight fire with fire.




The aesthetic of the position gets ruined on your next move so ask for a draw and admire the construction you two have created.
