When you plan your tactics, you should always watch out for a Zwischenzug. Don't assume that the opponent has to counter your threats immediately. It is a good practice to always check whether your opponent has a check or a move that threatens your queen. Conversely, anticipate your opponents threats and plan a surprising Zwischenzug.
