Keep the queen at home
Step 1 of 5
The queen is your strongest piece. But if she comes out early, your opponent chases her with knights and bishops. Here the black queen came out to d5. With Nc3, White develops and attacks the queen at the same time, so the queen has to run again.
White brings the queen out early. Black chases her while developing. Watch.
Move 0 of 8
