  FSR: We Have a Gwinner! Gratifying to see Black actually beat the Fried Liver for once.

  Teyss: A thought for our American friends who ate too much candy their kids brought back yesterday evening.

Anyhow, fried liver, very good to absorb the toxines and cleanse the digestive system. Loads of vitamin D too. This attack gives good winning chances to White: +77% -13% =10% up to 7.Qf3+. The odds are about the same until move 10 which seems to be the key moment for Black: all continuations other than 10...Ng6 failed. Opening Explorer

Only two other games in the Db with 10...Ng6, one other Black win S Boden vs H Kennedy, 1860 and a White win N Fabra vs Chintanakone Sisouk, 2024.

Here White being a piece vs Pawn down pushed too much against the exposed BK and ended up being exposed himself.

Cute pun.

  FSR: <Teyss> The Fried Liver is very strong, close to a forced win. Black is hanging on by a thread. Of course, it is very sharp. White is a piece down. If he plays inaccurately, the tide can turn completely, as Barnett discovered.

I am playing in a Fried Liver thematic tournament now. Here are my finished games as White: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... As Black: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... Unlike Barnett and Gwinner, I and presumably all but one of my opponents were using engines, which is why almost every game was drawn. (I should have lost one of my games as Black, but to my shock my opponent offered me a draw in a winning position for him.) But you can see that the play is insanely sharp.

  FSR: <Teyss> 8...Ne7 is bad. Stockfish 17 already considers 9.d4 winning for White. 8...Nb4! is the only good move, although Black's game remains very difficult after 9.O-O! Here are some representative games: F Rhine vs O Thau, 2024 ; F Rhine vs M Ulenaers, 2024 ; M Ulenaers vs F Rhine, 2024. As I've said, I should have lost the last game. My opponent was winning in the final position, but to my amazement offered me a draw.

  Teyss: Hi FSR,

Thanks for the info. Didn't know there were thematic tournaments in correspondence (TBH don't know much about correspondence). It's interesting, it allows to explore sharp and/or dubious openings as this one.

Here F Rhine vs Y Ayithi, 2024 your opponent didn't use an engine as you say. What a rout.

It's brave, but kind of masochistic, not to use an engine when your opponent is, especially in a super-sharp line like the Fried Liver. But not consulting books or a database either is downright suicidal.
