So I am on lichess in the 700es range and I continue to have these players as opponents who early on attack really aggressively.They must have some success with this (element of surprise I guess), but if I look at the stockfish analysis there moves arent so smart. (difficult enough for me to fend off though). I sometimes feel a little dumb, though because it can be quite hard to find out how to stop their attacks…

    You are giving your opponents the chance to develop their pieces with tempo by making theats against your queen

    This.

    If you can find ways to safely kick their queen around you will get a middlegame advantage. And look for ways to trap their queen. I’ve found that people who start out with their queen also make some hasty moves.
