I'm very interested in the Damiano Variation in Petroffs Defence:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Ne5 Ne4!?
I've heard that IM Charles Hertan has written articles about in Chess Horizons. Does anybody knows it?
Or anything what is written in opening books about?
regards!

Edit: Probably should have a ? instead of a !? for Ne4

Thanks. I thought the other one wasn't sound enough for an official variation, but that is, of course, wrong. There are many unsound variations with official names.
