Hello Chess Fans,


The Fried Liver Attack is a common and
aggressive variation of the Two Knights Defense.
Many players have described black's outcome as
"Fried", "Destroyed", "Decimated" and "A really
bad game for black". In this article we'll look
at How to Execute the Fried Liver as well
as Black's Defenses against it in order to turn the

tables on white and gain an advantage against this


aggressive attack.
The first recorded game of the Fried liver was in
1610 between Giulio Cesare Polerio and Domenico
in Roma, Italy. The fact that it continues to surprise
opponents today, over 400 years later!!! is a
testiment to its strength.
If you play chess actively you want to add The
Fried Liver Attack to your arsenal of knowledge,
but it's imperative and even more important that
you understand how to defend yourself against
it. Sooner or later you will be the victim of this
onslaught.
How to Execute the Fried Liver: The Fried Liver
Attack is a variation of the Two Knights Defense in
which white "gangs up" on the f7 square with
both the bishop and knight - eventually sacrificing
the knight on f7 for a major attack.
1. e4e52. Nf3Nc63. Bc4The Italian Game.
3... Nf6The Two Knights Defense.
4. Ng5An aggressive move that attacks the f7 square
along with the bishop. White only has one defender on
the f7 square (The king) and white has 2 attackers.
4... d5Black blocks the bishop's diagonal and its attack
on f7.
5. exd5Nxd5Your opponents who DO NOT know how to
defend against the Fried Liver will take the d5 pawn with

the knight.
6. Nxf7The knight SACRIFICES itself to gain a positional
advantage.
6... Kxf7The king takes the knight to protect the queen.
7. Qf3+Now starts the onslaught of attacks against the
"Naked" king.
7... Ke68. Nc3Nb49. a3Nxc2+10. Kd1Nxa111. Nxd5
Kd712. Re1c613. Qf5+Kd614. Qxe5+Kc515. Nc7+K
b616. Nxa8#This is one of several variations but the
ideas are similar - complete annihilation of black.

It bears repeating - "An Opponent not familiar with


the Fried Liver Defensive Moves will take the d5
pawn with the knight". After the king takes the
knight on f7 "He's out in the open" with no
protection. The d5 knight is pinned by the bishop
and the white queen has an open file to attack the
king
with
no
pieces
to
defend
him.
How to Defend against the Fried Liver
Attack: Black needs active pieces to block the
king against a queen attack. Instead of taking the
pawn with the knight 5...Nxd5 black instead
plays 5...Na5 - attacking the bishop.This keeps
the f6 knight in front of the king and is the
beginning of several forcing moves that attack
white's pieces. Black can also play 5...Nd4 or 5...b5

as other variations. The point is - the knight on f6


will defend the king against the queen's attack on
f3.
Black's Defensive Moves against the Fried Liver Attack
1. e4e52. Nf3Nc63. Bc4Nf64. Ng5White starts the attack.
4... d5Black blocks the diagonal.
5. exd5Na5Black DOES NOT TAKE THE PAWN but instead attacks
the bishop.
6. Bb5+c67. dxc6bxc68. Be2h69. Nf3e4Attacking the knight.
10. Ne5Bd6Black is attacking with tempo - furthering his
development while white's knight gets kicked around.
11. d4exd312. Nxd3Black has averted a massive attack of
annihilation and is now further developed than white. There are
open diagonals for his bishops and an open file for the rook.
Black is in a good position to carry on the rest of the game.

I hope this sheds light on how to play both sides of the


Fried Liver Attack. Look for the next in the series - The
Traxler Counter Attack which was famously played by
Mikhail Tal to counter against the Fried Liver. Until
then...Cheers.
