your board makes it impossible to see black pawns on black squares, at least on my screen.  You might want to adjust that.

Might help bringing your rating up if you saw the other half of your opponents pawns.

They should get rid of that black and white chess board, it's useless... here's the op's chess on another board.

1) That B&W board is awful! Let us never speak of it again.

2) What about the Fried Liver attack?

3) That's not the Fried Liver attack; it's just black getting careless and losing a rook. This is the Fried Liver attack:

 

It's notoriously unclear; Black can defend if he knows the line, but it's not much fun if he doesn't.

I cannot see that board.

Jedzz, why 8. Nc3 instead of Bxd5? Because the pin prevents the knight from moving, so why not develop more before taking?

I'm not sure I understand your question, JimSardonic. 8. Nc3 does develop a piece — the knight. Better yet, white is now threatening to get his sac'd knight back, as the move adds another attacker to black's pinned knight. 8. Bxd5+ is a mistake because it trades off a strong piece and releases the pressure on black.

 Instead of taking on f7 straight away, 6 d4 is a better line for white altogether.
