Subject: The Dreaded Fried Liver attack ….
[Impertinent editorial note: I think the Fried
Liver Attack should refer to only the line 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3
Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7, but here my
esteemed correspondent means the line with 4. Ng5
– Dr.Dave]
In my quest at becoming a better player (USCF 1360) I was
constantly faced with the Fried Liver attack as black. After losing
the game several times I finally got off my butt to learn the
stupid thing…And, what I found was striking. First off black
should have nothing to fear from Ng5. In fact he can practically
laugh at it. I have enclosed some games from the local club here
where me and my uncle have done extensive research on the Ulvestad
Var. of the Two Knight’s Defense. If you have MCO- 13 the page is
111. But, what I found its that people DON’T play these lines…
And give black a perfectly healthy game.
If you would like to see the rest of Ng5_1 where my Uncle
John Powell Defeated the Master his E-mail address is
[…]
I think that these lines would be very useful to you web
page and chess club…
[Appreciative editorial note: I
agree!]
