I'm quite sure they don't exist:

Damiano's defence is hopeless. It goes:
1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 f6
3. Nxe5 Qe7 ( fxe5 4. Qh5+ wins by force)
4. Nf3 d5
5. d3 dxe4
6. dxe4.
Play something that doesn't leave you at a disadvantage from the start.

To the best of my knowledge there is no such opening as the Ghandi opening and I assume you are talking about the Damiano Defense.
Easiest just to type Damiano defense into your search engine and read /study at your liesure.

Gandhi opening?That's a new one to me too.Maybe it's used when referring to a very quiet,peaceful opening strategy 😉

Yes. I just found that out myself. But it's a supposed to be a joke. Apparently it's where you just shuffle the knights back and forth on their starting squares. Ng1-Nf3, Nf3-Ng1, Nb8-Nc6, Nc6-Nb8 etc etc.

That is exactly right: The Gandhi opening shuffles the knights back and forth and the Damiano is just an incorrect opening.

I believe that you read another thread about 'your favorite openings' or something similar where I posted those two stupid openings as my favorites... They are not and I was just kidding...

The Ghandi opening is used when both players want to be closer to the time controls at the start of game.
