Noi theoretical significance whatsoever, just a casual blitz game between two very strong players. After 8.Bxd7+?! white already has to think about achieving equality, and this has been demonstrated in hundreds of games.
I mean, Nf6 isn't baiting the Fried Liver, it's just a standard move top GMs like to play because it allows them to be more flexible with their Bishop placement and it avoids certain theory which is much more annoying to deal with than the Fried Liver.
Nice video except one small problem: This isn't the Fried Liver Attack. The Fried Liver Attack is predicated on Black's 5...Nxd5 whereby White launches the Attack with the sacrifice 6.Nxf7. If these two moves are not played, then there is no Fried Liver Attack, just the standard line of the Two Knights Defense.
True. Very often, the intent of the move Ng5 early is to enter the fried liver attack as soon as possible, so people often forget the final few moves that brings us officially into the fried liver attack.
@@mstalcup I play this a lot as white. My goal isn't Fried Liver. My intent is to give black a shit pawn structure with pawn down and sort out the issues with development and coordination later (I trade pawnstructure and a pawn for having shit development and problems coordinating). I'll play Fried Liver if forced to. 95% of players (That plays Two Knights defense) avoid Fried Liver... So if that would be my intent Im up for being disapointed.
This isn’t the fried liver attack. The fried liver attack only happens after 5…Nxd5 6. Nxf7. For some reason people think that if you play Ng5 in any position it somehow becomes the fried liver attack. The name comes from the fact that the king is moving up the board, not after white’s king knight.
Yes, this was a really nice video. He took some thing that everyone is familiar with, and then showed how Magnus handles it. Really interesting and you presented it in a way that I could understand. Thank you.
@@ChessBlueprints You still have the words "Fried Liver" in the title, but this game is actually a Two Knights Defense, Italian Game: Normal Variation, Polerio. It's not a Fried Liver until and unless Black takes the pawn on d5 and White plays 6. Nxf7. If White opts for 6. d4 instead, that's the Lolli Attack.
Well... that isn't fried liver, is it? I call it "Two Knights Defence main line after Ng5" but I seem to remember its proper name is Polerio Defense in Two Knights Defence. Fried Liver is the exact version shown with 4. -- Nxd5 5. Nxf7. There is several other ways to respond to Ng5. But the most common, by far, is Polerios Defense... At least on my level (1800 ish Elo). I play this as white fairly often. Also Fried Liver.
4:25 Taking the b3 knight is really nonsense. White just voluntarily move a centralized knight to a bad square, it's not easy to get the knight into the game again. Also taking the knight will help white opens the a-file, and the a8 rook will be tied down defending it.simplr retreat the a4 knight to the c6 square and black will enjoy a very comfortable position
What are you talking about? Fried liver is the white’s response (move deeper) to two knights defense. So the initial position with knight jumping to g5 is called the fried liver attack
0:48, "the only move", but what about bishop to c5, then if knight takes f7 pawn bishop to f2 check, if king takes the bishop the f6 knight takes the e4 pawn check, if the king goes back to e 1 the queen goes to h4 check, if he covers moving the g2 pawn to g3 then the knight takes it, if h2 takes the knight then you win material (the h1 rook) with a check, but lets say the king moves from e1 to e2 offering a queen trade after you toked the h1 rook instead of cover with the bishop, easy the knight from c6 goes to d4 check, the king must move and you win the queen. Now, if instead of cover the check with the g2 pawn, he moves his king to e2 its a forced check-mate in 3 moves, here are the options: 1) Queen to f2 check, the king is forced to move to d3 2) The knight from e4 moves to c5 check, king movers from d3 to c3, and queen to d4 check mate ......Another option is: 3)The c6 knight moves to b4, the king can only take the e4 knight and then queen to f4 check-mate. Hope someone likes this little advice ;).
4...Bc5 leads to a large advantage for white after 5.Bxf7+ or even 5.d4. Basically it is hoping for the lemon 5.Nxf7, which is analysed till the end (and to a draw). If Hope Chess is your thing, then feel free to play it.
@tobiasf.1302 Traxler is only good against people who doesn't know it. a GM with 3k blitz rating knows it. At that level its not seen as an resonable option any more then a6 is. So... No, its not the only move but the only resonable move at GM level.
1:58 Ba4? Thats a mistake in polerio defence. Does not look like you know the teory here but still a nice game rewiew. I understand its not advisable to enter the fried liver as black to people who dont study the lines there realy well. But i used to play fried liver as white. Now i stopped playing it as white and sometimes i have played it as black. I even played it over the board in classic game and i won that game. In freid liver white gives up a knight for a pawn and a exposed black king. And even the computer jumps forth and back in the lines. White realy has to know how to attack here if black knows about to handle it. Very risky i know. Easy for black to do a mistake. But it was realy funny to beat that guy. He took on f7 in the speed of a blitz game already showing he was thinking that he was already winning. Then few moves later showing that he did nkt know the variations that deep and that it was not that 3asy. Many players going for the fried liver are banking on the early mistakes. I started playing the lolli attack instead. I think the lolli is better. Delaying sacrificing the knight to a better moment.
4.Ng5 is not the Fried Liver. The Fried Liver only happens if it continues 4...d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?! 6.Nxf7. Only *then* is it a Fried Liver. Also, in the line you gave, with 8.Ba4 is a mistake by White. Better is either 8.Bd3 or 8.Qf3 or 8.Be2
BTW, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?! 6.d4! is the Lolli Attack which is at least as good as the Fried Liver. Set up that position just before 6.Nxf7 and let Stockfish run for a few minutes. It will eventually switch between favoring d4 or Nxf7 and vice versa.
@@prashantbits Yes. I would take the pawn if it wasn't going to cost me an bishop. I can always castle out of the "queen/king aligned" problem, next move or two. So... At the a "beginned level" they would hang a bishop. But the idea of picking of the pawn, had it been free, works at higher levels then begginers.
Im confused,,you call this what Magnus played the Polerio Defense and what Hikaru played thePolerio Defense. I always seen what Hikaru played was the Chigorin counter attack.
4:24 Knite b3 is just stupid, I'd do Knite B5 menacing c7 fork and gain a tempo to get that bishop out, (and I'm a beginner so maybe I'm wrong but b3 looks stupid to me)
@@perkalov Yes just like the Najdorf is a variation of Sicilian defense. It's just as misleading for a title to read "Najdorf" when the "Sveshnikov" is shown.
2 inaccuracies in the first minute of this video. 1. There's nothing wrong with the Traxler counter-gambit and 6.d4 is stronger than 6.Nxf7?! straight away...
I dont get it, people are scared of the Fried Liver, so stop playing Nf6 so fast, Bc5 or e7 and you wont have this problem, i see no advantage to play Nf6 before.
@@ChessBlueprints I don't know about that, I win 90% of my games playing Nxd5 as Black, some in under 15 moves. I drew an IM in a simul, beat an expert in a tournament game, and of course hundreds of blitz games, both online and OTB. The play for Black is strategically simple: don't get mated. White often has to find the only move to continue the attack, they are almost always material down, and Black is always better prepared, because White mostly prepares for other lines, and all White knows is that Nxd5 is bad, you sac on f7, go Qf3+ and win, and then over the board realize that it's not that simple. I can't tell you how many people in slow time control OTB game would spend 10+ minutes after Nxd5 and then decide to play Qf3 instead of Nxf7, realizing they can't see the win after Nxf7.

This is not the Fried Liver... 5...Nxd5 is the Fried Liver.
Thanks I didn't actually know that. I barely ever get that line in my games :(
He is probably saying fried liver because he is going for the fried liver set up, but black did not play into it. Instead black played this
7:25 bishop does, in fact, not have to move. Backrank is still weak. Magnus missed this or didn't feel like playing the complications.
Thank you so much for sharing! Immensely helpful :) Wish you all the very best, man. :)

Don't bother, he already knows how white is winning.
