It was fun revisiting this thread. According to the analysis, it's not my best game...but I hate early Queen spammers, so I felt like I stopped it and controlled the whole game. Yes, I see in the analysis better moves but it's still fun to beat the early Queens. I'm black....
To avoid completely dealing with queen spammers, you can just try to learn and using French Defense as Black..
It works well for me at least..

Thanks, I need to learn openings defenses all together, but the method I used usually stops people at my rating level. I know it won't stop 1000+, but I'm learning these defenses (he doesn't call any of them "the French") and they are advanced ideas. I bring out the knight closest to the queen when she makes her move, but I just rewatched and he brings out the opposite. I need to memorize why. https://youtu.be/cY9zitJFglc
My rating took a dive while I tried to practice only using fundamentals like this video...but it's on it's way back up. I've been trying to get my opening pawn, queens and bishops out, Castle as early as possible, create escape square, rooks to the middle and random pawn move. I find it working a lot but I don't see everything he does. https://youtu.be/WPmbUXQloHs
