So you can move your queen on move 2 after all

In this game my opponent used his Queen on move 2 to set up a very powerful attack.

always question some principles, chess is a concrete game.

First of all Nc6 is a superior move compared to Qf6. White didn’t set up a powerful attack, you just blundered with 7...d5??. 7...h6 was much better.

You can move your queen on move 2 by the means of 1.e4 and 2.Qe2. This is a sound way that should transpose into a KIA.

Also 1... e6

If Nc6 then Bc4 and my queen has to get out anyway.

All the recommendations you may or may not have heard about opening moves should probably start with a center pawn is specifically intended to do two things; 1. to control the center and 2. to open a diagonal or a file to be able to move your bishops and your queen

No, if Bc4 then g6

Usually Qf6 is a not-so-good move, since it denies the knight its best square. A better move would have been Nc6. If he plays Bc4, just play ...g6 to kick the queen away. Additionally, you usually move the queen later, since you can figure out where the best place to put the queen is when things start to slow down and the game becomes less and less flexible. Here's a quick little tidbit on how to deal with 2.Qh5 in the opening:

I get this sometimes eventhough I play the sicilian kan (not sure what white is thinking when they play it...)  I love it when white does this. Against 1..e5 or 1..c5 it allows black at least equality on around the 2nd move but it isn't necessarily losing though (when 2.qh5 comes after 1...c5 I think black can get a bigger advantage though) . I wouldn't be too quick to go against principles. Countering this move is really straight-forward and will give black good chances. That is just my opinion.

Thank you very much for you useful tips!

Now I know how to handle it

6... h6 was better (instead of Nf6). Bc4 was the threat.

You won't make much progress in chess if you think something "loses" if the opponent wins a pawn, .

After 3.Qxe5+ Be7 followed by Nc6 black gets an astronomical lead in development and full compensation for the pawn. objectively 2...Nc6 is probably even stronger but it's nice how 2...Nf6 ridicules white's idea.

All your problems begin with 2...Qf6.If instead you played 2...Nc6 , you were fine.

At this point y'all are matching blunders and playing each other, rather than playing for a win.

D6 blocks your own bishop and nf6 loses to qxe5. You act like you're a god at chess on your own topics but reading your recommendations have made me lose respect for you.

It's not really the end of the world for Black if he loses a single pawn - he has a pretty decent lead in development for his pawn, and he can play ...Nc6 later to develop with tempo on the queen. Additionally, the queen will probably be vulnerable to being trapped later on in the game, and if he spends some moves trying to tuck the queen away to safety, Black will have a HUGE lead in development.
