This video shows the fried liver attack. A common opening with many traps. The reason why it's so strong is that many players in low elo actually fall for it. It's a great opening trap for chess beginners and young chess players. You can use this opening to improve at chess and increase your elo. Subscribe right now for more chess content.

I used fried liver to go from 1000 to 1300 but at 1300 i realized that all of my opponents had a defense against the fried liver. Edit: lol he changed the title from 0 - 1300 to 0 - 1200

[@thebrushman4123]

When they play h6 and it counts as theory lol

[@I_am_bacon._.]

@@thebrushman4123 1. h4 is also considered theory. But just because it's theory doesn't mean it's good.

Just learn opening theory deeper or do puzzles until you can win close games Or try other openings like scotch or Halloween gambit 😈

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

[@CathCatechesis]

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]

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

[@CathCatechesis]

@@cnvrgnt yeah, the traxler is great too. I won a couple games with it too.

[@nicolaslevasseur875]

The traxler is bad against the bishop check line, personally I don’t think I ever lost to the traxler when I took with the bishop

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.

This is one of the best, absolute clearest tutorials on openings I've ever seen so thank you. I have 0 plans on ever using the fried Liver since I have a conscience, but I appreciate the information and it's presentation regardless. I must ask though if it's possible for you to make a video like this on the London. Like most low Elo players I use it as my main opening, and like most low elo players I have no idea how it works after move 3, a clear video like this would be really appreciated.

[@wrongfooting]

Yes but that's boring. The mission statement of the chesspage1 army is do wild aggressive things because it's fun either win or go out in flames

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.

POV:Your opponent play a gambit by playing Nd4,also known as Blackburn Shilling Gambit,either you checkmate or win a queen in 8 move if you take the free pawn and if you fork when they play Qf7 and the result is checkmate in 3 more moves or win queen in 3 more moves

[@DuongPham-bd2vr]

Even at 1800 I still play the fried liver cuz most of the time we go into the d5 exd5 Na5 Bb5+ c6 dxc6 bxc6 and although black isn’t losing it’s hard to play the game while being down a pawn and I usually go on winning after that lol

I’m currently 1200, struggling to get to 1300. I wanna reach 1500 by the end of the year. Could we play a few rapid games and you briefly tell me what mistakes I’m making that might be preventing me from achieving my goal?

[@icecream5125]

@@oneofthemones5242I 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

I mean, more power to us and each one of us who studies this, right? But at that point, is it REALLY chess? You're just playing a mathematically proven clever trap. Then again, I suppose it becomes a moot point once you go above that 1600 elo like you're mentioning; now you get into the territory where people at that level (shouldn't) fall for it!
