I keep getting teamed up on my F2/C2 square and it ruins my development

Sort:

Seriously, like 4 out of 5 games I play involves my opponent going ape shit on my weak pawn square. Funny enough, I have yet to lose a game when my opponent does this (as far as I can remember), but it does put me on the defensive and completely ruins my development as I have to make some really weird and unnatural moves in order to avoid checkmate. Usually what happens is my opponent gets so focused on mating me in an attack involving that weak square, so after I’ve successfully protected my pieces in that back area, I slowly start to unleash an attack and end up sneaking a queen or a queen / rook combo on the other side of the board, getting a checkmate after tinkering around a bit over there, without many pieces over there to defend against his king since they’re all preoccupied with that weak square attack.

But...I’m also playing against 1000 and lower level players. Anyone higher up the ladder would probably be able to pull off an easy mate on me in that situation.

So my question is, when an opponent attempts to double or triple team on that weak pawn square, how do I stop that attack while also developing my pieces properly?

You can check some of my recent games for specific examples on what I’m talking about. It keeps happening and it’s very annoying. It throws all my plans out the window.

You need to develop as soon as you can, so follow opening principles and don't waste time in the opening. If he gets the opportunity to triple attack your f pawn you must have done some unnecessary moves.

Check this out, I 've written an article on how to survive the opening:

If you want to, give me the example of game like you're describing and I will try to tell you what went wrong.
