What is Fried Liver Attack?
The Fried Liver Attack is a chess opening.
This opening is a variation of the Two Knights Defense in which White sacrifices a knight for an attack on Black's king.
The opening begins with the moves:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nf6
4. Ng5 d5
5. exd5 Nxd5?!
This is the Two Knights Defense where White has chosen the offensive line 4.Ng5, but Black's last move is risky (other Black choices include 5...Na5, 5...b5, and 5...Nd4).
Bobby Fischer felt that 6.d4! (the Lolli Attack) was incredibly strong, to the point 5...Nxd5 is rarely played;
however, the Fried Liver Attack involves a knight sacrifice on f7, defined by the moves:
6. Nxf7 Kxf7
