The Fried Liver Attack!

Hi! Welcome back to another great attack in chess! I know, it's an interesting name.... but that's the name, I guess. But anyways, the Fried Liver attack starts with the King's Pawn Opening, demonstrated below:

Now that you have this very common position, you can bring your knights out, like this:

This is officially the most common chess position you will see in a game. Now, you can develop your bishop to c4, like this:

Now, this is the Italian Game! I explained this opening in another post so if you don't know this opening, then go see that post. Now lets say black does a random developing move, like knight to f6, then you can launch your attack and move your knight from f3 to g5, preparing to fork blacks queen and rook with the defense of your bishop on c4. Your position should look like this:

Now, if black doesn't defend this threat, then go crazy, because you can now move your knight to f7, forking the queen and rook. But what if black defends this threat, moving their d pawn to d5? Then, sadly this threat is over, but you could maybe sacrifice the knight (yes, the knight has no defenders) and if the king takes, then you can bring your queen out to f3 and check the king. And that's basically it! Thanks for reading this post! Comment down below what you want in the next post!
