Go up one level in this thread


Just what is with the fritz7 opening book??  In game three doesn't 1. e4 e5 2.
Nf3 f6? lose by force to 3. Nxe5! right?

And in game four there's 1. d4 d5 2. f3?!

But the main thing is the former, namely Damaino's Defense, named after him not
because he ever played it in a serious game but because he published a treatise
showing that it loses by force.  And this was centuries ago!

Some it seriously wrong with Fritz's new opening book, no doubt about it.
