Avoid Losing Valuable Pieces for Beginners

Do you ever wonder why your pieces are gone just because of 1 queen? I've experienced that before, but thanks to Kurt_023 (former classmate and he teaches me chess) he taught me one simple thing to defend yourself, and with this guide, you don't need to memorize openings, with your thinking and visual performance, you can make up your own opening without being wrecked by your opponent!

 

Only one step: Watch your opponent, you don't have to predict 4-5 moves, you don't have to make a memorized opening, you don't have to try capturing your opponent's queen, because the queen won't come to you! Not just the queen, but you can defend from long ranged pieces like bishop or rook, though the rook doesn't attack that often. Let's take an example:

What should you do?
Answer: Playing as White, Bishop might move to Bh6, so you must have a pawn on d2, the queen? It will go to a5 then check, then it will go to your base, and eat everything, or everything will go on reverse, going to the other sides if possible, you just have to watch long ranged pieces.

Here is your most recent game so that people can judge how well this advice is working out for you:

 
There are big problems with your system. There are so many things wrong with it, it is hard to know where to start. 
 
The 2 g3 fianchetto doesn't make any sense if you don't put your bishop on g2. Then you started inching the pawns on your kingside forward.
 
By the time you played 7 g4, All you had done was to create a big hole in your kingside for the enemy queen to come in.
 
(Did you notice how that happened? It was like you sent out an invitation!)
 
 

I recommend that you take some of the free Chess Mentor classes on how to open a chess game.
