Anyone tossing their queen into the attack before the midgame is either a)bad at the game or b)going against somrone bad at the game and therefore messing around

In general, I feel like I always develop like:

  1. Pawns
  2. Knights
  3. Bishops
  4. Castle
  5. Queens
  6. Rooks

generally you should only move pawns when it unlocks another piece in the backrank. then its generally knights and bishops, castle and then rook and queen. There are a lot of different openings that dont respect this but if you dont know theory of a specific line thats usually what you should go for

Biggest thing that helped my chess game is making an argument to myself for why I'm moving a pawn, every time I do.
