And do professionals play it? I seem to have good luck with it, played it about 15 times, and won every one but 2, with players my own rating. With me being white.

1. e4 e5 2. Ng1f3 Nb8c6 3. Bf1c4 Ng8f6 4. Nf3g5 d5 5. exd5 Nf6xd5
6. Ng5xf7 Ke8xf7 7. Qd1f3 Kf7e6. 8. Nb1c3. etc.

Most opening books recommend the move 6.d4 quoting the game Barden Adams Hasting 1951/2. Apparently the Fried Liver Attack may be surviveable....

I think that 5...Nxd5 is the wrong move for black. 5...Na5 is probably better.

Isn't it called the Wilkes Barre/Traxler attack? It can lead to the Fried Liver Attack

No, the above is the fried liver.

The wilkes-barre is:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 Bc5 5. Bxf7+ or Nxf7

With regards to the fried liver, people have been umming and ahhing about its soundness for decades now. Realistically it probably IS survivable but ONLY if you are well prepared.

I would imagine it would cost a lot of clock time OTB if you weren't familiar with it.

Nice, so then if Black plays 4.. Bc5, what can he do if white plays Nxd7? could black possibly sacrifice the bishop on f2 to try and get an attack going?

Do you mean 5.Nxf7? If so, 5...Bxf2+ is the move usually played.It gets a bit complicated after that!

For reference, the improved line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5? 6.d4! is called the Lolli Attack, and is basically a more refined Fried Liver: the up-market Fegatello, if you will!

thanks for this site and creator of this thread for the longest time I just whiped out 5....Nxd5 and won alot but here it is more daring to do so then otb. I read your article and decided on Nd4. I will not comment any more b/c I have this position on the board against a equal or slightly better player in a tournament game now. I just wanted to thank you guys for giving me something useful to read while I wait for ppl to move.
