I have been checked mate many times by the queen-bishop opening. What is the best defense?

you mean this checkmate? There are a few possibilities:

1: e4 e5 2: Bc4!? Nf6, and white got nothing

1: e4 e5 2: Qh5?! Nc6! 3: Bc4 g6! 4: Qf3 Nf6 gives black an edge because of better development.

1: e4 e5 2: Qf3?! Nf6!, with a nice position for black.

And as a general rule, move out your Kings knight and bishop fast, so you can answer any threat on f7 (or f2) with kingside castle.
