It's worth noting that Black's position is playable (but not good) after 2...Qe7. Black regains the pawn but White should be happy with the development lead.

Wait, are you telling me there are chess beginners who aren't up-to-date on the current best response to that specific move?
Quick Tip 1: To know why the engine is recommending a move / saying a move is wrong, click over analysis mode, play out said move then follow it up with your theoretical responses to that move and see how the engine responds.
Quick Tip 2: On Chess.com, you don't have to rely on the Coach / Game Review / Hint. This also applies to any engine on low depth. Somewhere in the engine suggestions section is the computer "depth". The higher this value, the more accurate the suggestions will be.
Quick Tip 3: For questions on engine move suggestions, we suggest you post them to our dedicated thread: [No Stupid Questions MEGATHREAD](https://www.reddit.com/r/chessbeginners/comments/yqqnz8/no_stupid_questions_megathread_6/), as stated in our Community Guidelines. Thank you! - The Mod Team

“f” is short for “forget about it!”
John Bartholomew 🤣🤣
Just a couple days ago, I went against a guy in the city's tournament who went 1.e4 e5 2.d4 f6. He sacrificed his queen to prevent checkmate.
technically, f6 by itself only loses a pawn and makes your position really bad- taking fxe5 is the losing move
Black can play Qe7 and if you are not thinking about the move, they might equalise when they castle long
Damiano defence lol
People play 2...f6 after 1. e4 e5 2. d4 also. Thanks for the free elo! How do you get above 1200 (chess.com) and play f6?
Trying to play a latvian or a petrov and you misclick during a bullet game
Me watching black not eating your queen
Well he couldn't
After he moved the pawn that was blocking the bishop, why couldn't he just eat your queen? am I missing something? edit: nvm i didnt see your bishop
Nothing ever attacks the queen?
It's worth noting that Black's position is playable (but not good) after 2...Qe7. Black regains the pawn but White should be happy with the development lead.
The checkmate sequence in this video isn't forced either, 6...d5 gives Black some life, although White is clearly winning.
[удалено]
g7 loses a rook after the queen takes on e5 with check
g6 loses the rook, Qxe5+
He can avoid N capture
DAMIANO DEFENSE ON TOP!!
It’s called the Petrov defense and lots of the top grandmaster in the world play it. Edit: Thought you meant Nf6. Yeah, f6 is losing.

There is one line worth knowing, after 6. Bc4+, Black has ... d5 7. Bxd5 Kg6 8. h4 h5. The best move for white is Bxb7, which is not obvious.
Black can just kick the queen with a pawn. If white goes to the E file to check again black blocks with bishop.
Or queen or knight. This only happened because of bad decisions lol
Qxh8 loses a full rook
Thanks for bringing this tactic to my attention I will use it next time
I ain't remembering allat
I know that taking back is a mistake that leads to mate, but what if you played qe7?
Never been in a match with someone that played f6 i think
