my opponent spent far too long fiddling with the Queen in the beginning, allowing me more time than is necessary to fully develop. by move 11 I had all pieces developed bar one rook and full control of the two center files. This is when black decided to begin development. A few basic tactical errors later ensured a speedy mate. This game is proof that that an early active queen is often a better tool against more closed positions, such as sicilian variations, and certainly out of experienced hands.
