Zero opening principals, still a win…

We had two students playing a game immediately after I gave a lesson about the opening strategy. In which I give typical advice like “move all your pieces, control the center, don’t move the same piece twice.”

Then this happens. Chess.com called this the “Wayward Queen Attack” which is a name I don’t hear very often.

Good game. Hard to argue with the result, but there were plenty of options here for black to cut their losses or respond differently to that kind of pressure from the queen.
