Isn't that how chess works? You play a game, in this case watch a video of a game, you think about it and memorize it, and when there is the chance to remember this specific plan, you apply the plan. There is no way to not think in chess. Memorizing is thinking. What you're saying is what I see as, 'ah shit, i'm not allowed to study for this test, because then i'm not thinking about the exam myself. I need to just know all the answers.' And I think it's perfectly fine to study moves if they're an annoyence to you in some games and you don't know the right counterplay from the get-go. It's impossible to 'remember' chess in general anyway since there are too much variables, so memorizing common moves (or a specific game which is playing out the same way as a game you've played before) with counterplay is perfectly fine and smart to do.@@ercihanates6504

Pawn and queen attacks

I usually just play the bishop before the knight so I can castle if they move their knight up for the fork. But this is much better! Looking forward to trying it out!

Interesting move! I took the time to learn the traxler to deal with this but this looks a little easier.

I firstly knew this line from a Ben Finegold lecture about the Fried Liver, Nd4 (instead of the common Na5) was suggested by a kid, and Ben suggests this is super complicated and the main line theory goes c3 b5 Bf1 Nxd5. I didn't understand the point of Bf1, just remembered it, but this video nicely shows why cxd4 is problematic for white. Also there are quite a few master games in the main line and black is doing fine even in the main line. Conclusion: Fritz Attack > Traxler.

Just played this for the first time as an 1100 player. Is certainly a lot of fun, I'm going to have to keep doing this, thanks!

When I was a club player, say, roughly between 1990 and 2010 and rated around 1700, EVERYBODY in East Jutland played Nd4! So it was by no means a rare move - it was more or less the main line! There ARE ways for White to deal with it, but those ways tend to take all the fun out of the game, which is not what you're looking for if you play Ng5. And still White has to play super accurately, while Black is having a much easier time. And if there's any fun, it tends to favour Black. That's why I quit playing Ng5.

I have tried this about a dozen times against the computer and it NEVER moves the Bishop back to B3. That's a dumb move IMO, or am I missing something?

Concise and well explained 👏 Subscribed 📈

I use the Fried liver attack a lot, I can say most people don’t know how to defend it. They might unintentionally defend it, I use it because if you know your moves you can see wether he’s blocking it so I just stick with the Sicilian and still have better development. These counter moves aren’t bad but they only work against someone who doesn’t know his moves (only main line) once you let the bishop get into position, irrespective of wether the fried liver is executed or not you are already at a disadvantage.

Qc6 crushes White. Either the Bishop is lost or Qxg2 next. If Bxf1, Nc2+.

I remember in my first USCF blitz tournament (I was about 1500) we went down the b5/Bf1 line. Fun times.

As a scicillian defense player, the fried liver makes no sense because there is no black pawn on e5 so the fried liver and any scholars mate attack gets met with Ne5 hitting the bishop while simulataneously protecting c2.

I see the fried liver all the time but didn't even know it was called that. I always respond with the supposedly rare Nd4 but never thought of the follow up Qxd6. I either went with Ne6 or Be6, which left me in a relatively bad position. Thanks for sharing this trap!

At move 3 when you finally get the Italian black can play Bc5, Be7, d6, f5 and Nf6. All of them is a good move and only one ‘might’ leads to fried liver. I’d recommend something like danish gambit since there’s not as much move to remember. Afterward you can start learning more complicated opening one at a time and saves complicated stuff like Ruy Lopez for last.

This is like the famous Blackburn gambit which follows this line: e4-e5, Nf3-Nc6, Bc4-Nd4!! The point is the same, lure the knight in this "fork", just from a different angle, instead of Ng5 they go Nxe5. Then we play ...Qg5 and we have Nxf7-Qxg2, Rf1-Qxe4+, Be2-Nf3# It's the exact same position both with the knight and the bishop capture. It only differs when white plays c3 instead of d6. I personally prefer playing the Blackburn gambit because this makes them immediately think you've blundered a pawn, whereas if you play the two knights defence they aren't necessarily forced into playing the fried liver and the game may transpose to a boring Italian variation.

You are correct on the first point, I am just blind, but unless they play ke2 qf6 is as far as I can tell, simply better. If kg1 or ke1, they get checkmated, if kf1, they have to respond to check either moving to e1, g1, or e2. E1 and g1 lose to qf2#, or after e2, nd4+, kd3 play nf2, forking the king and queen, if ke1, qf2#, and if ke3, qf2+, if kd3, qg3+, kxe4, qf4+, if they go to d5, there is probably a checkmate somewhere, and if kg3, after qg3+ there is at least a draw and probably some kind of mate. Also in some of those paths they could have blocked with queen, but every single one hangs. If after kxe4 they play kf3, qf6+, if kg4, h5+, and after kh3, nf2 forks the king and queen, and there's probably a mate there. If ke2, qf2+, kd3, qg2+, if ke2, forced draw, if kxe4, qf4+, if kd5, qd4#, if kd3, qd4+, ke2, qxc4+, and you win the bishop and the knight, and you are up a pawn. If ke3, qf4, and either move I've covered already. Tell me if I missed anything.

I'm 1600+. Personally, I believe that the two knights is the best 1...e4 defensive option. I respond to the fried liver w/ 5...e5. It opens black up for tactical play and white has to immediately defend his bishop.

After 6. ... b5, I thought the normal line is 7. Bf1. And now white gets more of a chance to develop his pieces. That's why I normally play 5. ... Na5.

Agree, I play Bf1 as white and then enjoy a good position.

1:54, what if white plays d3 to kick the knight? White may feel uncomfortable as the pawn blocks its own knight, but the black's knight's place is also very awkward. If it retreats to f5, and white castles, it seems the white has an advantage.

My new chess account been created in last year November 15, but I have played this frank liver attack oppening still over 200 times with 53% win rate, 44% lose rate and rest are draws. I used to play this opening before chess app in roblox chess rekting noobs and thats why I have been playing this opening a lot for last two years. This is much better trap, than any of the queen move traps, because most know how to stop them atleast.

Who else got here from the I did a thing, training wild animals playlist? 😂

HAHAHAHA the same

You are gold man! Well done!

Love this vjdeo, you earned a sub

I'm 541 and I have seen people use this. Although I notice this before they can actually implement it. But thanks I am gonna use the trap you suggest.

I think now my road to 1400 looks less difficult after seeing this video. Stuck at 1329 since 5 months

Im around your same level and trust me traxler will be better especially against 1400's

I was stuck at 1350-1400 for like 3 to 4 months. But I made a few changes to my game and within 2 months got to 1700. If your interested to know how do reply cuz im not gonna waste my time writing all that to someone who wouldnt read it anyway

This remembered me of the Blackburn chilling gambit!

if they check you with the bishop then move the bishop back to C4 and not b3 then what is the next move ? is the bishop safe on c4?

You are the first person I have heard talking about how fun a position is. It's more important that the game feels fun than that my position is good.

ngl as a 600 I saw this trap yesterday but it was a Giuoco Piano Four Knights instead, and I panicked and castled, then thought it was a bad move (though I checked game review and it said best move) tbh it was a horrible game for both sides, I only won because opponent was too focused on attacking me (they had M2) and hung M1 which resulted in my win

It is the best move because you basically trade 2 minor pieces for a rook which in that position is completely fine for black

Four knights giuoco piano sucks tbh, i think after 3.Bc5 its like the 4th best move according to stockfish but imo its 6th best move because i love the evans gambit and the max lange attack

thanks for the easy to understand lesson. no build up...just straight to the point

I love the Traxler counter attack too much to play this

I am a low rated bullet player 1200-1450 and I've been playing this opening for at least 2 years now. It works really well in bullet games.

I'm old and not even a club player, but I've been confused over when the Two Knights Defense went from a common "romantic era" opening to being called the Fried Liver.

The fried liver is the bishop + knight attack at the king pawn

​@@modemuffel9911No it is the variation with Ke6 which is basically the main idea (otherwise the d5 would be easy counter)

The Two Knights Defense (3... Nf6) is still called the Two Knights defense. 4. Ng5 is called the Knight Attack, but a lot of people mistakenly call this the Fried Liver Attack because that's what White is aiming for. 6. Nxf7 (only after 4... d5 5. exd5 Nxd5) is the Fried Liver Attack or Fegatello Attack. Playing 5... Nd4 instead of 5... Nxd5 completely avoids the Fried Liver Attack and this is called the Fritz Variation.

@@EternalSilverDragon Yes, and also the main line 5...Na5 of the Two Knights Defence avoids the Fried Liver Attack 6 Nxf7. In fact some analysis considers 6 d4 even stronger, but less spectacular.

Giving one of my treasured secrets away! This line is the Fritz defense BTW. If someone under 1600 plays Bc1 in response to b5 without a long think you can bail and report them for cheating. It's one of those cases where the computer top move isn't even in the top 10 moves among humans.

What if they're not cheating, but just know the lines? Lots of players memorize opening moves, even at lower ratings.

The Fritz? Definitely something your opponents wouldn't study, I think they're used to seeing the traxler

I like to make players think I'm playing the fried liver, let them think they're getting lucky and then just start making weird moves to confuse them. You can ever push your knight and force the king out, and begin pulling their pawns out disabling the defense.

Many times my opponents did this. Sometimes I lose and sometimes I win. But this trick is superb. I'm gonna play this now ❤ thank you

Great video I just reached 1000 elo and whenever there's Bc4 I go h6 to prevent Ng5... I never thought we could play like this. Thank you

I never knew how to properly respond to this attack but now it's a different story.

Now my opponent has seen it

That smuther mate was called Blackburn shilling gambit

Thanks, indeed the most common opening. Many times I played h6 to avoid this. I intend to try the tips according to the video from now on

Chess Vibes haven't popped up on My algo's for awhile. Great to see this!

What if white moves the bishop back to where it was on C4 instead of all the way back to B3? Any tricks there, or just attack with queen and then add a pawn to the attack when they defend?

Qxc6 forks the bishops and g2 pawn, then Qxg2 forks rook and knight ... aaaargh.

Amazing !! Thank you so much for that

Awesome. Just watched and played. It didn't go exactly the way in the video. But the opponent had to sacrifice his queen. And eventually resign.

i remember i played this the fried liver the first time and it worked. showed a video to my dad. he goes "good. but now study the Traxler counter. if you run across someone that knows that, you're screwed." i said "ok. ill look it up some other time." found a quick vid, but didnt actually learn it. i queued up for another game. i start with the fried liver and the guy went straight for the traxler which i instantly recognized. i knew i was done for but i decided to play it out just to see. i got destroyed lol

This is OVERPOWERED
