G1E2 It's not so much risky as wasteful....moving out the Queen that is. Look at my moves. I moved the Bishop Pawn twice. There is not another piece that has been moved more than once. Development. Developing, or deploying, each piece properly early in the open is essential to having a fluid attack or defense. Now look at your pieces. The only major or minor piece you have off the back row is the Queen. Your Bishops and Rooks are blocked for the most part; you have a doubled Pawn, an isolated Rook Pawn. Your motion is restricted, very difficult to get fluid. Look at the Center.....generally Key to The Game. With the exception of D5, I control or have parity with you on each of the other squares. This further restricts your motion.
