Description

The Damiano defense is created after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f3. Generally, it is one of the worst openings which can be found and yet played by many beginners, as it seems to be a good idea to the e5 pawn. The embedded moves are the famous refutation of this defense, which inevitably leads to a worse position for Black.
