The Damiano Defense is a chess opening characterized by the opening moves
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6
The move 2. ...f6? is a poor move which white can punish by sacrificing the knight with 3. Nxe5! which leaves black with the choice of playing 3. ...Qe7 regaining the pawn but losing valuable time, or take the knight with 3. ...fxe5 exposing his king to a deadly attack after 4. Qh5+ and 5. Bc4+.
The name of the opening comes from the chess master Damiano who correctly condemned the opening as bad for black.
