1.e4e5 2.Qh5 Now what for Black?

You see this occasionally. What is the best response for black? Thanks.

2...Qh4

urk's suggestion is a sound gambit for sure. Both ways are good. You shouldn't be afraid to fianchetto, though. Some players do it when not forced, yes even behind the e-pawn, KID, Spanish Game lines with g6, Bronstein Variation etc.

when we talk about "playing the man" vs playing the board... this particular opening is of interest.   White clearly thinks that black will quickly scare and give up all his peices on a dodgy unsupported queen attack.

espacially if black can avoid the obvious and white isn't likely to have a deep understanding of chess; I think its good pychology for black to look blind about the e pawn.

a pawn isn't really that big of a prize; and almost compensation for anything.  black can develop swiftly in many variations.   often the awkwardly placed queen is just tempo gain for black to grab the inititative.

the downside is the embarassment of black losing.

there was a well documented threat, that perhaps one of the past super-gm thought of scaring the then WC kasparov with just such a play.

if you google a bit; you will find some history of the "wayward queen" opening.

for myself, i think its an excellent challenge to new chessplayers.

I say it like that.  and the next guy to play me with immediately play that against me.

there's not such thing , as a 'beginners' opening.  there are those that are good, doubleedged, awful, or just a really sick way of a supergm to protest their pairings...

Check white's handle, then resign if playing Nakamura

exactly.

not all Qh5 ideas are sure sign of a weak or shallow player.

you can't generalize "play the man" strategy.  thats practically missing the Whole point.

its just that the decision to play it is interesting and is worthy of pychological guesses about your opponent.

This does seem very sound. Only drawback is that after all the trades Black's King is out in the open on f2. Right?

When I was like 8 I played a children's tournament, and on the board next to me 1 e4 e5 2 Qh5?! was played. Just after making the Queen move, the White player asked his opponent 'hey is there also a sticker underneath your King?' so the unsuspecting child picked up his King to see, and then the White player claimed he now had to move the piece.

Unfortunately for him his master plan didn't work, because the arbiter just laughed at the situation and told the Black player he could make another move than the disastrous Ke7?? 

Lou,

the portion of the blitz games at the moment at 900 - 1000 Iv'e been playing where white doesn't take time to develop, but instead chooses the more aggresive root, have not challenged the black Queen. Since white is not developing I'm not loosing tempo. I do try to gain on tempo and develop parallel to what white does. 

Ja the King is out, but white needs time to deal with the situation to.

Ke7 is the best move in this position

Ke7 ??

2. ..Ke7 3.Qe5#

or am missing something?

Yes, the fact that it was a joke lol.
