Destroying the unusual






That is called the Damiano's defense. If Black knows the "main line", his king will survive - he will only be about five pawns down! lol. But the lines are not well known. There is a guy who plays that line 2...f6 with decent results, because he has studied the ins and outs of the line...Sam Sloan I think is his name.
I am amazed (read "shocked") to see a number of people, as black, who open a game 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f6?!?!?!. If you have ever come up against it, and wonder how to destroy it (after all, it's awful!), then just have a look. I have discovered a neat little piece sacrifice that leads to an attack on the black king. No complications, no variation spaghetti, just one daredevil playing black, and one person ready to destroy. You'll enjoy this one!!
