Feels good stopping the early queen for once.

Using Gothem's advice on stopping early queens, has made me better at chess. I went from hating early queen users to saying, ok, bring it on when they do it. As i did in this game, and i worked out a checkmate without taking many pieces or losing any pieces despite making one mistake and hanging a pawn, but he did not see it. Not trying to brag, im a monkey playing chess, but it feels good to win. https://www.chess.com/game/live/58078248015

Also I have been practicing against the nelson bot on this site, and have yet to beat him on challenge mode. Nelson uses the early queen so good practice I will someday! lol

Congratulations! Refuting an early queen attack is an important achievement of a new chess player! No matter how good you get it will always feel good refuting opponent's dubious play.
