If You look at my last 2 games, I keep having people sending Queens out and clearing my back line. How am I supposed to defend against this?

One of the games I watched of yours they pinned the Knight to the king, you attacked the bishop which captured your knight. So the defender of the e4 pawn was removed. The queen came out and you opened up a diagonal by trying to attack the queen with the g pawn. Better was to develop your pieces. Bishop to e3 sacrificing the e pawn. Knight f3 developing the piece and then bishop d3 before casteling. You just have to do is ask what in the position has changed? (what is no longer being defended, what is being attacked, what lines are open ecetera).

In all honesty--just play solid my g. These early queen attacks are pretty much always one-move threats. If you play the single move that A) defends all your pieces & B) leaves nothing hanging--you'll never have to calculate further than 2 moves out.

Play Solid 😎

You can look up videos on 'Wayward Queen' for some ideas. When I see this happening, I send my knights to non-stop harass the queen, and surprisingly I get a chance to capture her in about half of those games. I'll post an example if I find one.
