But, if you play something else, his bishop gets in the action
It's just really annoying ngl
Why is Nelson such an annoyance?
Sort:
In the second one, he could checkmate you if you ignore the queen and bishop. Watch out.
Usually, I would play g6 or Nf6 as this blocks the queen
well g6 boots the queen but it'll slide back like this
If you are annoyed that you need to defend, and want a nice dynamic attacking game instead, you can try to grab the initiative with the Kiddie countergambit, sacking a pawn.
Now it's black who has the initiative. Next you should castle, then open the center and attack the white king.
Nelson is very bad at defending, so he usually collapses fast.

Just bring out your king-side Knight and Nelson's Queen is cut off from the mating square. After that, you can harass his Queen with your Queen-side Knight, forcing it to move and you might be able to win his e4 pawn, but focus on getting yourself castled quickly (putting your Bishop on g7 is good). Nelson often neglects to castle, so if you get your King safely castled, then just try and strip out the centre pawns and have at him.
Here's a game of mine where Nelson started out the same way you posted, which is based upon the above general ideas just in case it helps to make sense of them (I've left his trash talk in the comments 
):
Nelson is incredibly bad in general, relying on the opponents inability to defend to win the game. The only thing you need to do to beat him is learn how to defend against early queen attacks. If you can successfully do this, beating Nelson should be a breeze since he frequently hangs pieces including his queen, much more so than even bots like Emir which are supposedly 300 points lower
