To clarify a vague pronoun error, I'll specify that when I put "he", I meant "Damiano"
Yes you're right the Damiano opening is better than the Gambit (but still losing for black) i still could find some draws
and one win !
ok Petrov losed (the position wasnt this bad) but he was eight years old at this time
The Damiano Gambit is the refutation of the Damiano defense. White plays the damiano gambit. Accepting the Damiano Gambit is what is especially bad for black.
Remember, the knight sacrifice is the damiano gambit.
There might be 100- 500 opening traps on the market , but 99% of them broke opening principles. If you follow opening principles you prevent 99% of those traps.
can't say i agree with that. A lot of gambits EXPLOIT opponents doing what LOOKS correct, and even 2400s fall for Qxh8 bait in the rousseau when blacks queen is on d4
Isn't there a mate in 8 if your opponent plays a certain line? What is the line, again?
