If people hate the Ruy Lopez threat and want to move a pawn to protect, never do this.

 

but if they do, your in luck. try this puzzle with the same moves.

It's a well known problem with the Daminao Defence. Of course, black doesn't have to take the knight after Nxe5.


I guess the point with playing f6 is to protect the e5 pawn, though, so it seems dubious of Black to first protect it and then just let it go...

In any case, thanks for the puzzle ni178!

It reminds me of a game, which ended badly for black.

 

Damiano's defense looked at first attractive as it seems to cancel the Ruy Lopez threat however it also opens the b2 diagonal (which I missed at first but that is used with interest from move 8. onwards).

Note that the computer analysis gives the following comment after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6?
(+0.92) MISTAKE - Your opponent made a mistake! Better was 2... Nc6

Well, the refutation of Damiano's defense is quite a bit more complicated than that. In fact, it is still a little more complicated than even Rayrook's series of moves. Qf5+ will obviously be the end of black's chances. That is why 6...d5 is played. Then, after 7.Bxd5+ Kg6, the patient 8.h4 threatens the end of black. After the forced 8...h5 or 8...h6, white can simply play 9.Bxb7, winning the rook. This is the best that white can force, though it rarely gets to this point since it is novices that tend to play Damiano's defense. However, this is the official refutation of the defense that you will want to study if you are a 1.e4 player.
