Rather than in the Fried Liver, where white sacrifices a knight for 2 or 3 pawns, and an unclear position, the Lolli Attack chooses to play 6.d4 (instead of 6.Nxf7) as a pawn offering while defending the knight on g5 with the Bishop who's diagonal is now opened. It is a very interesting opening, and I want opinions OPINIONS on it. I've been playing this opening against the Two knights defence for YEARS now. I haven't a single game after the move of 6.d4
Also, some home analysis has given some interesting things:
5... Na5 6.Bb5+ c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 8.Bd3!?
=O!!!
I know you're probably thinking "WTF?!?" but this has proven to me to be very effective because of some theory:
"If you're going to be attacked TRADE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!" Because if White can stave off Black's intiative, then the 2 isolanis on the a-file and the c-file will become liabilities... not to mention the pawn white is already holding.
8.Bd3 may block white's d-pawn, which in turn blocks white's other bishop, but it does a lot in return:
Another thing is the transposition into the 4 Knights Defence. This line contains quite a nice novelty if your oponent gets scared of the Crazy Ng5 move and goes 3...Bg5
Here are some interesting lines. Enjoy! =D
