Hello everyone at redhotpawn.com forums, this is my first thread here!
Opponents who I play tend to bring out their Queen early in development... I know this goes against the opening fundamentals, but I find that they always have the advantage even if I'm further in development with bringing the Queen out early.
How many people here bring their Queen out fairly early?
And what are the best defense strategies for this?
Thanks Dave

when they bring out their queen early you are supposed to devlope while attacking it. This way they keep moving it and you keep developing. Eventually you try to either trade off the queens so then you have a huge edge because you are totally developed and they are not. Otherwise you try to trap the queen.
Originally posted by classicalpawnAs stated above, one should attempt to attack, or threaten to trap the Queen while developing one’s pieces. At the same time, stay alert, as the Queen in the open does give one's opponent some tactical opportunities.

However, bear in mind that any advantage gained by an opponent’s premature Queen sortie - and there mightn't be any - is often going to be a long term one. That is to say, a win probably won't present itself within a few moves. Instead, you might have to content yourself with a slightly better position out of the opening (though that is not something to turn one’s nose up at 😉).
Considered extremely risky in Stanley Random Chess (SRC). This is from the SRC Chess Files introduction to strategy:
'Early queen development is hazardous, and without sharp play can be suicidal. In somewhat vulgar circles, it is sometimes known as a "Loose Madame."
'Pieces exposed early in the game are vulnerable to attack due to the risk of "freezing", but they also increase the possibility of early material gains when attacking patterns are used to take advantage of the opponents similar vulnerabilities and freezing. (Experienced players usually apply the Law of Reversed Colours to calculate whether the risk factor is greater than the piece quotient.)'
