Queen's Counter-attack by Lone Wolf [edit 2017-12-24]

Opening starts as follows:
1. h2-h3 .. b6-d6 .. g13-g12 .. m9-k9

The opening is all about stopping R/Y from moving their Queen's and also prepares to activate Queens early in the game. Notice that taking the pawn is bad for R/Y.

Following sequence:
1. h2-h3 .. b6-d6 .. g13-g12 .. m9-k9
2. d2-d4 .. Qa7-b6 .. k13-k11 .. Qn8-m9
3. Bi1-g3 .. Qb6-f10 .. Bf14-h12 .. Qm9-l9

Blue stops red's Queen from developing and also puts pressure on his weakest spot. Green plays either l8 or Ql9, which is probably better. It threats checkmate as well as bringing the Queen to the more active square, such as j7, i6.
The only drowback of this opening is the development of the pieces.

Another line can run like this:
1. h2-h3 .. b6-d6 .. g13-g12 .. m9-k9
2. d2-d4 .. Qa7-b6 .. k13-k11 .. Qn8-m9

3. Bi1-g3 .. Qb6-f10 .. k11-k10
and green is forced to play l8, which is not at all bad, cause red's bishop is missplaced.

Also this is possible:
1. h2-h3 .. b6-d6 .. g13-g12 .. m9-k9
2. d2-d4 .. Qa7-b6 .. k13-k11 .. Qn8-m9

3. Bi1-g3 .. Qb6-d8
in which blue attacks the weaken pawn on j2.

It can happen in reversed way:
1. h2-h3 .. b6-d6 .. g13-g12 .. m9-k9
2. d2-d4 .. Qa7-b6 .. Bf14-h12 .. Qn8-k11

3. d4-d5
but here green has developed Queen on a better spot.
