fried liver

The fact that people still play the Italian hoping for the Fried Liver or for an attack on G7, makes me really sad. I've been known to let people go for it, since I couldn't care about winning or losing, but it's ultimately so sad that I sometimes have to go to great lengths to avoid blocking those who play that way. The same with 2. Qh5... The take all the fun out of chess.

I don't follow your strategy. Wouldn't refuting the fried liver over the board make them a bit less likely to do it again?
Maybe for serious players OTB that's a valid strategy. Online chess is about trying to outtrick the opponent at my level. The Fried Liver is easy to avoid (you just don't play), but people will still attempt to play it.
I've got great scores playing with the Knight Attack (4.Ng5) and playing against it, so I like this opening very much lol
(I play the Traxler, don't try it against me though, I've got a special "traxler buster" line)
which means it's one of these
what're the other counterattacks besides the Traxler? Isnt there some gambit with b5 thats ok too?
You mean this?
That's not a gambit because if bishop takes pawn then the queen will take on d5

Most people then just pull the plug and resign.
I don't care if i have one rook less, because the game is just started.
For me the game just starts to begin, losing one rook does not say that the whole game is already lost

i find it more funnier to see how confused people get, when you just play on, carefully looking for traps and most of the times then you see that they don`t expect that you just accept your loss and they are starting making mistakes.
I think it is a learning process, how to avoid getting trapped.

Be careful, before you know, you'll be called a douche. Don't you know you have to be respectful and resign when you opponent thinks they've reached a won position?

lucky i cannot hear them what they are saying on the other side of the internet line, second, i ignore the chat when they start typing dumb stuff.
( i love the option that you just can close the chat for only that game ).
losing one piece does not claim that the game is already lost, people may think they have already reached a winning position, that will only be when that final move has being played, to reach that goal.
there are many options left over not to lose, you can also go for a stalemate, that makes it a draw.
If it would be so easy, then we all would be a GM
