#2 is not the Fried Liver. It is the Two Knights Defense.
After 5.exd5, Black did not play 5...Nxd5 (A requirement for it to be a Fried Liver (6.Nxf7), but rather 5...Na5.

Here is one - who knows this one?
Given the state of black's kingside development, it could be some Scandi.
I used Chessbase's position explorer to cheese the problem, but the answer is 1. Nf3 d5 2. b3 c5 3. e4. No clue what that's called
1Nimzo Indian
2Italian Knight attack, main line
