Avoidable Queen Movements in the beginning would invite dangers. It not only exposes the Queen to attacks but blocks the developments of other resourceful pieces.
Hence to the extent possible at all levels players plan development of pieces initially . An advanced Queen at the initial stages may have to make tactical retreat s through multiple moves. But at the same time some of the players use the Queen as a piece to lure the opponents to make forced moves. These moves under the hope of capturing the Queen leave them with shattered structure on the Board. None of the above factors but a simple but costly blunder is the villain for the undoing of White here.

Opening is Centre counter defence. Only problem for Black is lot of Queen Moves in the opening itself.
2. 8. Bf4 If white plays 8.Be3 white would get more development.
3. 13. Qf5 Here 13.Qg4 or Qh5 would be too strong a move.
4. 16. a3 16.Rfe1 White again missed this strong move .Idea is attack the black which has not castled.
