i mean either its a good move in which case thats why they played it or its a bad move in which case why are you complaining?
Getting back on track. The easy answer about trading queens is, it depends.
There are times, when I am ahead in material, I will actively seek to simplify, and swap....only if I don't lose significantly in positional strength.
When I am playing a better player, I may also tend to blunder less in less complex positions, where the "best" move is more apparent.
Last comment...new player, just getting back into chess after a lengthy absence...when did chess become so toxic? It's like Call of Duty in here...
if it removes castling its a smart move

I actually do what your speaking of, i've noticed the fact that i'm weaker against players with queens. It just happens so that I blunder or make a mistake while they have a queen as a asset. Now I usually trade queens early and major pieces such as rook and bishop. Because I am particularly better when we are in the state of middle game or endgame.
i think thats a kinda unhealthy habit. You should probably just try to do it when its a good move, like when it removes castling or youre up material. Then again, its not a horrible reason if you lose more with queens on the board.
Without queen the game become more interesting to play not because they are scared or anything
Exactly. They nearly run the board, and when they’re off, the game, lmao like I said pages before, is when the game begins 😂

Why do some people absolutely want to exchange queens so quickly, do you think this game is too fast-paced for them if the queens are in, and maybe they're scared their chances will be lower if the queens are still on the board?
😂 many a game I’ve had that scenario and would say alright the gals wiped off the floor, let the game begin! lol
😂 pg4

If you take the queens off the board, the king has a greater chance of being an attacking piece. In this case, castling may be counter-productive.

I disagree, If the queens are off the board, Castling is not that important.

yeah but the rooks will have to do some extra work to get into the game. when its a situation where the queens stare across at eachother from d1 to d8 and taking removes castling, usually the person with the turn should take. at the very least your able to long castle with check or centralize a rook with check

I have played so long on chess.com that I essentially have picked up on a common trait in most players and it is indeed cowardice.
The queen is the the most powerful piece on the board, by a long shot. It's not even close. So, what most players seem to have a view of is: get this scary piece off the board, make sure your pawns are lines up and trudge and slag your way to a queen with your opponent queenless.
It is almost universally American to immediately try to get the queens off the board.
Your opponent seems to position threateningly with the queen? Race up to him queen to queen or better yet, check with queen supported by a pawn and simultaneously check the queen and in the forced exchange you have advanced a pawn toward becoming a queen.
I know most chess played are probably nerds and just this sheer yellow bellied mentality is just so apparent.
Kudos to all the chess champs out there with highly technical good reasons to exchange queens , but at the lower levels, it's just a race to create a glorified Checkers game with a race to get queened! It's pathetic really.
ive said this once in this thread but ill say it again, either its a good move in which case thats why they did it or its a bad move in which case why are you complaining?

Trading queen's, when it doesn't gain you a piece or a very good advantage, is stupid and a sign that the players no good.
i would say the opposite is true tbh. not trading queens when it gives u an obvious advantage is a sign that the players no good

I actually have days where it’s my only goal is to take the queen; often I will resign after taking. Sometimes it’s the knights, whatever makes me giggle that day 👍🏽
