This opening beat Fabiano Caruana (in the hands of Hikaru Nakamura) in Norway Chess 2023, straight up destroying a World Champs Challenger who is known as "the answer to Magnus Carlsen in Classical chess" in a need-to-win moment. Hikaru winning the strongest event of the year with the Fried Liver will be actual trivia and history.

[@troloosauhund8747]

Wasn't it the polerio? The fryed liver only goes after knight takes pawn.

[@cnvrgnt]

The counter attack toward the end is called the Traxler counterattack and it’s very good. Definitely worth studying if you wanna be able to combat the fried liver

[@GrzegorzBrzeczyszczykiewicz_1]

Another good counterattack for low ELO is Nxe4. Most people take the knight back. Then you play Qh4, attacking the knight. Most the time your opponent will play something like g3, in this case you play Qxe4+ and then take the rook. Levy recorded a video on this, I recommend learning it to you and everyone else who might read this response.

[@cnvrgnt]

@@GrzegorzBrzeczyszczykiewicz_1 I remember that one too. I can’t remember the name of it because I usually go for the traxler against fried liver

I must ask though if it's possible for you to make a video like this on the London.

[@itsdramahere]

There is a beautiful gambit against the eventual Fried Liver. Not the best, but sometimes called the Italian Game: Knight Attack, Ponziani-Steinitz Gambit, it involves the black knight taking on e4 after the knight attack. There is 2 traps they could fall into, either the knight taking on f7, which gives black an advantage by 0.2, or the knight taking, which when happens, the pawn will move to the d5 square, forking the knight and bishop. This gives black an advantage by 0.6, and after the bishop taking the pawn or something, queen comes in, black has an amazing center.

[@chesspage1real]

Also keep in mind that if you're playing on chess.com, the elo is about 200 lower. 1200 on lichess is ~1000 on chess.com What's your elo? (For future videos)

[@icecream5125]

@@consciousmassofatomsI may be 1000 I understand a few of my mistakes so I’d give them to you : not enough opening knowledge, not enough endgame knowledge, not playing enough puzzles/ games to rise higher, takes to little or too long to move, not seeing potential trades or mates (if using pc it would be easier) , getting scared of losing rating, doesn’t know some middle game tactics. Keep in mind if you learnt all of these well u would probably rise high which might take a while even the best couldn’t learn this within their first year or 2 at a good degree. But I recommend if you check your own games in game review after you have warmed up and see which moves are bad and try to think of the best move and sequence to some degree you might get better keep in mind you need time and I’m 1000
