And so you move your queen out early, your opponent wants to “punish” you for it, and thinks he is justified in doing so. After all, only amateurs move their queen early in the game! However, he forgets that chess is still a game of tactics, and that the queen is a powerful tactical piece!
There are many openings where the queen moves to the center early in the game because it can’t get chased away by a knight anymore, or where an attacking knight can immediately be pinned. In such cases, the queen can actually be very useful and active in the middle of the board.
I’m sure there are many more examples where an early queen move has led to a quick victory. We all learn that such moves should be punished, But never underestimate the power of the mighty queen! She might trick you and confuse you and lure you into muddy waters. Be warned!
Putin thinks he’s playing chess when we’re not playing at all. He played his last card when he told us his exercise was over and it was just another lie.
