Yet still some people play it.
Damiano Defence
Sort:
I used to play it. Until I took a knight to the knee >_<
Black doesn't have to take the Knight. Here's the famous game where Fischer played against the Damiano Defense in a simul and only managed a draw.

Why would this opening be classified as an opening if it is very bad? Look,this is a knight sacrefice that pays off.Either lose the pawn or lose a rook and pawn.
