Fried liver (defined by 5...Nxd5 6.Nxf7) is of course very dangerous and black shouldn't go into this mess. Maybe black can hold with an engine, but 5...Nxd5 is just too provocative and risky to be good at practical chess.

 

Exactly. Why play 5. ... Nxd5?! when both 5. ... Na5 and 5. ... b5 lead to complex and unclear positions with chances for both sides?

I hope monsterchip appreciates getting free opening lessons from a pair of IMs !

 

Objectively speaking, 5...Nxd5 is a better move than 5...b5 (or 5...Nd4). The problem with it is that is very tough to defend Black's position OTB.

Since when is the fritz variation bad,?did not find any artice. I only playthis sometimes since it leads to a borish endgame if boh play right.

Since ever. The Ulvestad and the Fritz lead almost by force to the same pawn down ending which is far from boring and difficult to prove full compensation for Black.

On 8...Nb4, a3 losing a tempo and giving Nxc2 for free? It was played by Shirov but not good.

Move 9 : Qe4, Bb3, Kd1 (I would be reluctant to play such a move), and 0-0 are all good. Thought Qe4 and Bb3 are probably more to the point.

And then u give 11.Qxd5 trading queens? White is material down and has to attack the black, no way to trade queens!

that's the problem.

imo the lolli attack is better than the fried liver. (d4, then nxf7)

tictactoeprodigy

the fried liver is taking on f7 afaik. in the database, if you dont take, its just the knight attack.

Nxf7 Never a misstake only the destruction of black.

not my quote.  I don't have an opinion.

It is not so clear...

Anyway, calling "Ng5 the Fried liver while Nxf7 is the fegatello" just shows your ignorance, so we shouldn't take seriously what u are talking about this opening.

In my opinion, I think the fried liver should only be played once the player is moderately confident with the attack and its different variations. It is good to learn since it so effective, especially against certain types of players (leave you to figure this out if you're interested). Happy Chess!

Ya know, I have a *small* feeling that english isn't preusseagro's first language.

taking on f7 is fried liver.

Proof?

Statistics, engine evals and overall analysis?

Truth be told, 5... Na5 (Polerio Defense) or 5... b5 (Ulvestad Variation) are much better than 5... Nxd5.

I like fried liver as black or white.

Only the first applies, if you include woodpusher games.
