The Queenside Fried Liver

Well this post has kinda gone to the dogs.

I looked at the opening. I don't study chess a lot but decided to give that a try.

After 8 moves my opionent resigned. He would have been down a pawn, rook and a bishop after 10 moves. Not able to escape. He made some blunders of course. But this opening is deadly if you are not paying attention.  IMHO.

Peace brothers.

"If you are not paying attention" is the key, finally someone who nailed the words (at least for my own satisfaction).

Nothing special of an opening if you do pay attention however :)

Maybe what's special about it is that it makes it *so* hard to pay attention.

Can you please stop making fun of this irrefutable opening for no reason.

It's the brightest idea!

Well I just played a guy who is about 250 points above my rating.  I play him all the time , we grew up together. It's a good way to stay in touch. Anyhow he cleans my clock all the time. I opened with this Queenside fried liver and after about 12 moves I was up a pawn. He came back and beat me but he had never seen it before so for awhile I had he thinking real hard. Some with a equeal rating would have beat him with this opening.????

No.

Get over it.

Lol what do you mean no? He just said he almost beat someone with a rating 250 higher than him, I'm pretty sure that counts for something. Just face it, this works no matter what you theory nazis say.

Actually, he said he had the lead, and lost it in midgame, so I think it works, it's just the 250 point difference that is the issue.

IM pfren. I bet i could pwn you with this opening. But, waldojones, yes this opening does work very well when you play it, especially someone who hasnt seen it before.

But surely we can't forget about the Catalan Fried Liver.

Good analysis pfren, you are so far the only cool person i have seen on this site. I will have to use this in a game.

Okay, Boris Spassky did NOT use this at all, as far as i know this has never been played in world championship level. 

There are TONS of lines to stop this beginners attack

Check OP of Waite-Harrison, black is not fine.

umm... the queen is protecting it.

It's a joke buddy...

The OP is a joke but this is definatley a legitimate, still unrefuted opening.
