Originally posted by Boydy7It certainly is a bad move, in fact, a blunder. It looses a piece immediately.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Ng5....... Hoping to be able to move Nf7 getting a queen/rook fork?.... I always get away with this in my games and it comes in handy but some people say it is a bad move....so is it or isn't it?..
Black can just take the knight on g5 with his queen: 4...Qxg5, and you'll be hard pressed to get back into the game after that.
Don't get too carried away with attack - you've got to make sure that your attacking pieces aren't unprotected and under attack! π
Edit: Now I noticed that Flexmore pretty much said as much - I just reacted with "reply" immediately after reading your post, without reading Flexmore's, it was a reflex! π

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5!?
This can lead to the infamous Fried Liver Attack. Follows:
4...d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?!
Most will say taking back witht he pawn is too dangerous. It follows down the Fried Liver Attack (or Lolli) where White sacs the knight on f7 for a huge counterattack! Against a beginner, it's doomsday because none will find that they MUST move their king out to the center of the board or lose material and be way behind in development and king protection (ironic, eh?). Against a prepared player, you have to really know your stuff and keep the pressure on, possible with more sacrifices (BOT NOT EXCHANGES!!!!!!!!!)

Joost Goedbloed vs Folmer Ferment
Hengelo jr open U12 2000 · Giuoco Piano (C50)
the game ended as a draw, but only because white was able to somehow survive 4. ... Qxg5 and find a perpetual check.
