What NOT to do when playing chess

Yet another thing i've realized on players whose rating is <1200 is that they always go after the queen when they have a so-called "sense" of opportunity. Why does everyone think of the queen as an "important" aspect of the game? Tactical thinking is the most important thing in chess. It's not all about getting important pieces like a computer. The difference between us and a computer is that a computer always goes after pieces. Maybe they might sense a trap but still... We humans should also think tactically rather than getting all the pieces. What one must NOT do during a chess game is to go after the queen unnessacarily and not to put your king in a position where it can't move. Yet another example to prove what i'm sayin:

i understand that it is a four move checkmate... and that knight didn't understand what he was doing did he?

So...

Check my other forum topic called the flaws of the four move checkmate...

you'll see how this is not very effective: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/livechess/flaws-of-the-four-move-checkmate

It's not good to take advice from a begginer, it can be very harmful. And the queen is very important.

im not saying that the queen isn't important, it is!

but try not to get it into such situations that your queen gets trapped and then you get forced to resign. even then, lose with pride, don't think the queen is everything... but it is alot.
