Why has nobody tried playing 1...f6 and 2... e5 for black if white tries 1.d4 - It could be the new opening to take the world of chess by storm.
I suggest all caro kahners out there give it a go and report your results back to me.

While the theory is still developing, it may be a while before it catches on.

White will get his material back with interest, and Black will have a wretched position. Relatively best for Black is 3...Qe7, in which case he's definitely "struggling", but not totally lost.
wasnt there that insane opening called the damiano defence 1e4 e5 2Nf3 f6 3Nxe5!! fxe5 4Qh5+ and black is really struggling...
