What do you do in the Fried Liver?


i noticed =P always happens, chess.com needs to fix it. it occurs when you put in the game first, then type.
also sometimes if you post the game then type, the text disappear, "consumed" by the game.

oops sorry theres a knight on c3, so no c4 =) i seems like white is losing, so fried liver is a no no for anyone who knows this line =(

The main problem with the fried liver,
Your attack won't always deliver.
You're losing a knight, your foe gets a fright,
In the end you're just a piece-giver.

Try 6. 0-0 instead, you don't care about the pawn now since moving the knight on b4 just plain loses. I used to play the fried liver alot until I found out the lolli is far better because it gives chances for your opponent to make a mistake! Unfortunaltley when you play people who are above 1200 they don't play nxd5 and instead play na5, which is a different game.

alright ill do the lolli from now on. don't know it at all =(
Bxb5... its a little gambit, so if i accept it, then i won't get my piece back =(

Interesting enough, at the chessgames.com database, I found (appropriately enough) 64 fegatello games. Of these 64 games, white won 54, drew 2 and lost 8. Surely, this says something.
The possibility of having to defend against the Fried Liver Attack, or other similar attacks, is one of the prime reaons many players won't use the Two Knights Defense, but if one simply avoids playing 5...Nxd5, the game is a lot saner (to me).
