You seem like either a troll or a really salty person so I'm gonna call it a day and leave you to whatever you like about ranting in empty forums
Is The wayward queen attack any good if you can just play knight to avoid?

So being consistently screwed over and exploited is now just "being really salty". I've fricking had enough.

The Wayward Queen Attack (1. e4 e5 2. Qh5?!) is objectively not so good because the white side is neglecting chess opening principles by bringing their Queen out so early and is likely to fall behind in piece development because black can develop their own pieces while simultaneously kicking the Queen around to worse squares.
If you want a little more on playing against early Queen moves in the opening (including this openings), then you can check out this old chess video I made on my YouTube channel:

If it's such a crap opening by your standards, why do so many people play it? Right, because you don't see it at your level. You're so far away from where the vast majority of people are.
I'd rather see my opponent wanting a good game. Otherwise, I don't mind since it's so dumb even a noob like me can refute it.
#26 I've come to the conclusin that opening principles are total nonsense. If they actually meant anything, I wouldn't be losing 90% of my fricking games, whether I'm misled or not. I've always focused on them, yet I still get trapped and crushed within the first 15 moves, because it's impossible to know what of these supposed principles is more important in any given situation. Control the centre? Give up your bishop. Control key squares? Get kicked off them instantly. Castle early? Nope, you did it at the wrong time. I fricking give up.
#28 You've just ignored what I said completely. If it's such a crap opening and it can be theoretically dealt with so easily, why do so many people play it?

It works if your opponent either doesn't understand it or isn't paying attention, which I guess happens often enough at my level. I'm trying to improve my play, however, not just win a game, so I'm wanting to do things like develop my pieces and not waste moves on an idea that won't work with better players. I don't mean any insult.
Yeah, well it fricking feels like it, you just want to call everyone pathetic noobs, regardless of how much they're actually trying.
@29
"opening principles are total nonsense" ++ Opening principles provide sound guidance.
It are no absolute laws. You can sometimes transgress some opening principles, often not.
The Wayward Queen 2 Qh5 is playable, but not sound see @27.
"what of these supposed principles is more important" ++ All 4 principles are important.
"Control the centre?" ++ Always good.
"Give up your bishop." ++ Ugh what is that supposed to mean?
"Control key squares?" ++ Yes.
"Castle early?" ++ Yes, early and often O-O
@30
"If it's such a crap opening and it can be theoretically dealt with so easily"
++ It is no crap opening and it is not so easy to deal with, see @27.
"why do so many people play it?" ++ At the lower levels it is played for a quick checkmate.
At the higher levels it is occasionally played in blitz games to get out of theory.
It was only a matter of time before you showed up with your endless spout of bullsh!t... What's really fricking sad is that I just don't have the energy to try and call you out anymore. Everything you say is designed to troll and insult weaker players. You repeat the same six words of nonsense, and call it genuine advice. You give people false hope that anyone can reach 1500 with "a little mental discipline". Do us all a favour. Shut up, shut down your account, leave chess and never come back. I've had enough of you.
You're absolutely pathetic. You should be ashamed for misleading hundreds, if not thousands of people in this way.

It is playable but can easily be defended. It is a way to rapidly bring out pieces, but the way they are being configured is generally more scrambled for white than for black. Because it brings the queen out too early. As a result, hardly any tactics or interesting attacks can be formed. And it just fizzles out into nothingness. I haven't seen any interesting lines so far so maybe someone can surprise us.

People dont care. Again, what is the game of chess? Is soccer a game of kicking a ball? Maybe, but if you get an educational book on soccer, no.

to weak players it is mostly non-essential however it is a good foundation to build on when the opening innacuracies will be felt
The fact that you claim you're "not interested in doing low rated players dirty" while laughing about it tells me everything I need to know. And you still wonder why I've lost all trust.
When was I laughing about it bro 💀
