So I am not confident on not blundering my queen and taking out a rampaging queen taking all my pieces. So I try to trade my queen asap because I usually feel like I can play better than someone else with no queen. Basically I’m asking how bad of a habit is this and how can I get better! Thanks

Hi, if your in a position where your opponents queen has more control over the board I suggest you trade your queen, but also make sure your queen doesn’t have any checks or captures before trading. If you want more help on this topic you should check out ChessMood.

The Queen is your most powerful piece and you shouldn't trade it for no reason. Trading your Queen like that can bring your attack to a grinding halt, which may be exactly what your opponent wants. There are positions and good reasons for Queen trades, but "I got used to it" ain't one.
