This has nothing to do with the Fried Liver Attack, and if Black has any decent knowledge of the Two Knights Defense, he would never allow the Fried Liver.

Instead of allowing the Fried Liver (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5?! d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?? 6.Nxf7!), Black should never allow it by playing 5...Na5!! and he has already equalized!

I notice a lot of Noobs on here think 4.Ng5 is the Fried Liver. It is not. It can lead to the Fried Liver, but it is not forced, and 5...Na5 is what makes 4.Ng5 dubious. White is far better off playing 4.d3 or 4.d4 than 4.Ng5?!.
