What do you do in the Fried Liver?

hmm Vodac, intresting. that does seem quite good actually, but does it after Ke7?

Vodac

I haven't really analyzed this position, but here is a possible continuation:

edit: I don't know why, but apparently I can't post a diagram, so I will try to summarize what I wanted to say in it... After Kd7, Re1 looks best, threatening the e5 pawn and preparing the rook to join the attack. Black's best defense seems to be Bd6, protecting the king and e5. But here, white has (not sure about the move number...) 11. Bb5+ c6 12. Qf7+ Be7 13. Qf5+ Kd6 14. Qxe5+ Kd7 15. Nxe7. This looks very strong and very hard to defend. If black plays cxb5, Re3 seems devastating. However, Black might have a better defense before. Bd6 might not be the best move, and, if it is, there is always the possibility to refuse taking the rook.

6. d4 might be better than Nxf7, but after 6... Bb4+ 7. c3 Be7 the game that white obtains is totally different than what he can expect out of a fried-liver attack.

If the goal is to play the better line, then 6. d4 is the move. But, if the goal is to obtain a huge attack against black's king, then 6. Nxf7 should be played. Even if it is finally proven to be unsound, accurate defense is hard to find over the board.

Vodac that happens all the time (i post LOADS of diagrams). alright, just delete it and put in all you want AGAIN. it'll show up. it happens when you insert the diagrams then type after it, either the text disappears or that happens.

im going to play the lolli attack (d4) from now on. i don't really know the continuations though =(.

Qe4 was the wrong move.  What is required is a3 instead, allowing:

It is always lost for Black as soon as Nxd5 is played.

ah yes your right, however in a game right now (far passed these stages), i played Qe4 =( thanks a lot OG.

whute has the intiative though, black doesnt have much development, and white doesnt need to rush the attack

OG is quite wrong I'm afraid. 11...Kd7 and Black is doing very well.

Presumably you play this as Black - there's no real reason to do so apart from tempt ppl into the Fried Liver Attack in correspondence chess. White can achieve a safe advantage with the secure Lolli Variation, while played OTB, especially in blitz situations, the Fried Liver Attack is difficult to deal with anyway.
