Today I played one of the worse training games in November. I faced what is probably one of the worse openings black could possibly play. It gives white more than a +2 advantage on move 2. And then I blunder a piece on move 4.

I really won’t to forget about this game as soon as possible. I have learned my lesson in the Damiano Defense. Now I know how to crush it. Make sure you don’t have to face it to learn the lesson I have learned today. Make sure you know what to do against it!

Here is the game:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6 3. Nxe5 Qe7 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Nxg6 Qxe4+ 6. Be2 Qxg6 7. Qf3 d6 8. Nc3 h5 9. Nd5 Qf7 10. d4 Nc6 11. Be3 Be6 12. c4 O-O-O 13. b4 Bg4 14. Qe4 Bxe2 15. Kxe2 f5 16. Qd3 Nge7 17. b5 Nxd5 18. bxc6 Nb6 19. cxb7+ Kxb7 20. Rab1 c5 21. a4 Kc7 22. a5 Nxc4 23. Qb3 Qd5 24. Rhc1 Nxe3 25. Qxe3 Bh6 26. Qe7+ Rd7 27. Qf6 Re8+ 28. Kf1 Bxc1 29. Rxc1 Qe6 0-1
