Faced with rapid Queen development, one may feel pressured to strike back in a big way--to counterattack, or to trap the Queen.  These attempts at dramatic "payback" usually end in giant frustration.  The key against early Queen deployment is to be satisfied with small gains.  Protect that weak f-square or central pawn.  Defend against any bishop pins that the opponent may use in conjunction with the Queen's moves.  Anticipate forks (checks with attacks on weak squares such as b-pawns), and resolutely hold everything together.  Weather the storm, bide your time, and before too long your superior development of minor pieces and better control of space will mean that either you can trap the Queen or, more likely, cause her to turn tail and flee, leaving you with a better position.</p>
