Let's learn the Fried Liver Attack, one of the most dangerous openings in chess. An opening where you can potentially checkmate your opponent in 8 moves. It starts with pawn to e4.
Let's continue with knight f3.
Now develop our bishop to c4.
Black played knight f6, which means we can play the Fried Liver Attack. To start the attack, let's play knight g5, threatening the pawn on f7 with the bishop and knight.
This was Black's only way to stop capture on f7. Now let's capture on d5 with our e-pawn.
Black played the very natural recapture with the knight, but now they are in trouble. Here we detonate an explosive. Knight to f7. Kaboom.
Let's bring out the queen with check on f3. We are checking the king and have a double attack on the knight on d5.
Black moved their king, so now we can take their knight with bishop d5.
Well done! We have a dominant position against Black's exposed king. The computer puts our position at a +2 point advantage.
Black ran their king to g8, and now we have mate on the board. Bishop takes knight on d5.
Black is giving up their queen to delay the inevitable. Queen takes queen on d5.
Final capture, queen takes bishop on e6 checkmate.
That was best case for the Fried Liver Attack. But let's be real, most of our opponents won't play those awful moves LOL - so how do we win if black has other ideas?
Black has brought the king to defend the knight on d5. Let's put even more pressure on the d5 knight by developing our knight to c3.
Black added yet another defender to their knight, and is also threatening a fork on c2. Weirdly enough, we shouldn't get so worried about defending the pawn, and we should just castle.
This was literally Black's only move, adding another defender to the knight. Now pawn to d4, shattering the defenses in the center.
Black is attacking our rook in the corner, forgetting that all the action is happening in the center of the board. D-pawn takes e5.
Forget about our rook, let's add even more pressure to the center with other rook to d1, pinning the queen.
This is a crazy position. We are down 7 points of material, but our position is so crushing that the computer puts us at +9 point advantage.
Black is trying to bait us into playing knight takes f7. If we do, we're actually losing. Let's avoid this by taking f7 with our bishop.
Now we play pawn to d4, taking the center and baiting Black to take our knight. If they do, they lose their queen.
Black thinks they won a free pawn, in reality they are giving us time to escape our pieces. Let's play pawn to c3 attacking their knight.
Well done! Wherever black moves their knight, we will be able to escape or trade our pieces out of danger, leaving us with a +3 point positional advantage. White wins this position over 80% of the time.
Black took the bait, now we capture the knight back with bishop to g5, skewering the king against his own queen.
Now bishop to d8, winning the queen.
Well done! We are up a queen and have an easy win ahead of us.
