    Hey Igor, I generally love your videos and learn a lot from it, but today I couldn't agree with you.
    What do you mean 'Fried Liver Attack' is the best name for a chess opening? the "Hyper Accelerated Dragon" is the best name for any chess opening.
    We can ignore the Lolli attack, or Hillbilly attack

    Finding out why the attack is called “Fried Liver” is more confusing than dealing with it as a beginner

    • @usibistro

      ⁠@@usibistroIn Firenze, they use a net to envelop and fry the little pieces of porc (fegatelli). The piece of meat being fried on the net is a good simil of black king under then fegatello atack. Fried liver is not a good translation of the original name Fegatello, that simply means “ little lever”.

    • @Viaterarising
      @Viaterarising 5 місяців тому +3

      We call it "Fried Liver" because it's a really fast way to "cook" your opponent. As we know liver cooks in no time at all. Also back 100's of years ago it was damn near free so it was a very cheap popular source of protein that likely everybody ate at some point.

    • @tobias4411
      @tobias4411 4 місяці тому

      h6 så called Anti-Fried liver is a tempo down for black. If white know what to do black can quickly fall behind. h6 is not a good move just being scared of Fried liver.

  • @MaxDooDat2
    @MaxDooDat2 5 місяців тому

    This attack depends on Black making major blunders. Instead of moving knight to F6, Black simply moves pawn to D6. Then he can move the bishop out to E6 and stop the whole attack dead in its tracks. Plus, if the black knight not located on F6, then White can't move his knight to G5 until he has moved his Queen pawn forward to open up his bishop to protect G5. But if White does that, then Black can simply move his pawn to H6 to defend against it. But Igor didn't even mention any of this.

    • @EternalSilverDragon
      @EternalSilverDragon 5 місяців тому

      Igor didn't mention any of that because this video was about the fried liver attack, which requires this line to be played: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7.
      Black's move 3... Nf6 is not a blunder. It's a perfectly fine move, the only mistake in the leadup to the fried liver attack was immediately recapturing with 5... Nxd5.
      The line you're talking about playing instead is the Paris defence (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 d6), which is just a different way of defending against the Italian game opening. Maybe Igor will cover this in another video. It leads into another well-known opening trap.

    • @tobias4411
      @tobias4411 4 місяці тому +1

      Are you aware of the fact that blacks most common responses to Lc4 is either Bc5 or Nf6. They are both textbook moves and totally fine. Best way to stop Fried liver is the Poleiro defence, that is played in GM level.

    I must say that NONE of your openings work against Fritz! It's beginner mode seems like midrange to me. I literally tried several of your openings and they all get countered. That one where you give up two pawns in a row for the 2 bishops? you can't win the queen. Fritz comes back with a check via the bishop and only way is to bring your queen back to block and.... you lose your queen too. I believe there is no "use this opening all the time" idea to win more games. I think it depends upon what plans your opponent has and if they know that opening. But it's fun to dream that some of these openings would actually work. :)
