'''2... f6
?'''

Black makes a worthless move, entering the infamous [[Damiano Defence]].
Black needed to defend his pawn with either 2...Nc6 (main line) or 2...d6 ([[Philidor Defense]]), or counter-attack White's pawn with 2...Nf6 ([[Petrov's Defence]]). If Black felt brave, he could also venture into the murky waters of 2...f5 ([[Latvian Gambit]]) or 2...d5 ([[Elephant Gambit]]).
Either knight move would maintain the balance of the game by contesting the center.
