Fighting/defending against early queen attacks

Sort:
Synchrophasotron

Hi everyone. I'm just the beginner, played less than 100 games overall in my life but I am really concerned, how can I avoid/take advantage of opponent's early queen attack? I have a game where I pursue the queen but can never get anywhere but lose some pieces, which is really frustrating... Any advice in the respect of the early queen defence/counter-attack would be highly appreciated!

Upd: Just to avoid misunderstanding, I am not asking for advice on this particular game, I ask for advice in general!

My always-strategy is trying to trap the Queen, but it doesn't always work well unless the opponent is epically fail somewhere... Look at my ongoing game:

don't post ongoing games and then ask for advice, this is considered cheating.

Ruben72d, I don't ask for advice on that game, I ask for advice in general against early queen attacks. In this particular game I survived anyway, why do I need advice here?!

if your opponent brings his queen out too early you can win some tempo by chasing her around (and sometimes not even that).

You can't expect to trap her by force.

 

general principles are on a much lower level of importance compared to concrete calculations.

I think your first mistake was 4. e5. Better moves would've been Bc4 or Nxd4.

Also when your opponent played e4, you should have played Kf1. By playing Qe2, you left g2 open for attack.
