Ok, here are.some tips to beat Nelson

1. Cover common queen spots

Ok for example do d4, he has to do either e3 or e4 to get his queen to a nice spot. But then you can take control over the center.

2. h5: Queen's favorite spot

Ok for 4 move check mate ya know this tactic onto it? (Down below)

Yep, this tactic, Nelson does that a lot. So, the king fianchetto opening really helps. It places a pawn on g3 so it occupies h5. So Nelson can't do the tactic. Here's a nice example on position

The pure anti Nelson strategy.

3. Defense 

Ok, that relates to reason 2. But, the van't krujs opening actually helps, it doesn't occupy queen squares but it blocks the bishop so no four move check mate. This is a great idea but Nelson could gain a nice center and it makes it hard to develop your other bishop. Down below is a decent game plan for e3
