I generally try to avoid trading Queens early in the game, unless the trade is clearly advantageous for me (or avoids giving my opponent an important advantage). I like to storm my opponent's Royal Fortress, and that strategem tends to be more effective for me when my Queen can join the festivities.
Do you feel comfortable ? if exchange the queen very early
Sort:
I hate losing my queen early
The original score sheet of that game seems very interesting!!!
Indeed,in general,I don't want to trade off the queen ASAP,but in few cases,such as my opponent is much stronger than me,I'd like to do so though I know this method doesn't work well!
When heavy pieces still exist in the board,everyone need to be attention,so it brings much motivation!
no, weichi is the game with white and black stones, for Chinese chess.
I would say that I feel more comfortable in general. Chances are better that I will outplay my opponent in the endgame than in the middlegame, because that is where I have spent my time studying.
i dont... i feel that its premature
I can't believe I'm going to say this but, if there's a position in any chess game where I can sacrifice my queen for the other player's queen, I would do it 99.9% of the time because I know there is a VERY good chance that my opponent feals uncomfortable without a queen. The only way that I am uncomfortable without a queen, is if my opponent has one!

I dont mind them being gone but I prefer to take the queen within the first 15 moves usually that leads to an easy victory
From the around 150 games I played on this site,
There are exactly 4 where I won without a queen ...
1 where I won in the middlegame with a pretty cool checkmate, and I do get much more satisfaction if I can mate my opponent without a queen
3 in the endgame (involving 2 I won with switching rooks)
I'm not original with my moves, but my queen can make a big mess from time to time
I don't really hate loosing my queen, but if I do chances appear 99.3% It's either going to be a long game or a loss for me...
To me it depends on how much my opponent uses their queen, if they just keep it hiddin behind pieces like the creepy old man in the neighborhood creeps behind bushes watching little boys, then i dont wanna exchange cause i can get alot done with my queen, but if he's like all out raping me with his queen, then sure, trade
It really depends on who I'm playing, if I'm playing somebody worse than me I usually try to trade off, since beginners tend to be very dependent on the queen and don't know how to play without it. At other times, trading queens can mean a lot positionally, and be a real benefit since you do not become down on material but still have a good position. For example..
haha, whoever wrote that scoresheet needs better handwriting.
I dont really mind either way. I find that Im less likely to blunder without the queens on the board, but then again, so is my opponent.
dont matter queen or no queen i can win with either game ! :P its what makes the difference between players and professionals !!
Good issue to talk about . Generally speaking , I think my figure is worth a little bit more than his figure . So - if there is a simple change ( say bishop for bishop ) I think twice BEFORE change . I believe the more material on the table gives the little bit more chance to me . So - in this case - if there is a simple QUEEN for QUEEN exchange , I will avoid . I am not afraid play without any figure - but I think - I will trade-off any of my figure if I get something . Just for the sake of " make this move easy and let the game runs " I will not change . This is developed to there - I avoid the positions where I forced to change . I only plan go into positions possible to change - to get get rid of my not good standing figure , or get rid of his good standing figure .
Chinese Chess is confusing. Wait, is weichi the one with the black and white marker things and the Chinese chess (xiangchi) another kind of Chinese Chess?
