No, it was one guy that fell for it 347, 000 times

I’m 1300 and I see this every other game as black it feels like, thank you for this

[andrewsteinmetz]

Great video. Good pace, well organized, no extra dialogue, no gimmicks, just clear informative chess instruction. YouTube needs more people like you.

[WatchTower]

I’m a big of GothamChess, but when he tried to explain this theory, he’s trying to dramatize the whole video and we end up not really absorbing information as much as videos like this. Thank you for being straight to the point!!

[BobChess]

This is very powerful opening! Most Fried Livers only learn the main lines and the trap line, so if you throw this opening right on their face, they'll not able to remove it out of their face!

i am a beginner (450 rated) and i still see this once every 3-4 games as black, and this will surely be helpful, thanks!

Sure enough, about 2 hours after watching this video, I had a chance to counter this attack. The knight went for my Kb7 pawn, I advanced the queen, they blocked their King in with their Rook and Bishop, I landed a smother mate. Victory never felt so awesome, thanks a bunch!

5:36 it's like the blackburne shilling gambit trap

Thank you! What about other white options after d6 Q:d6 K:f7 Qc6?

[kritikyadav]

6:00 this is exactly how I lost yesterday.

[joelpenley]

I love this opening and playing both sides because there are so many ways to play it.

I prefer the surprise move for black 5...b5!! White usually doesn't know how to react, so a little bit a prep by black can get a quick advantage.

[librarybooks]

Great video, but there's one thing I'm missing. You said that white only has one safe place for its bishop: b3, so we take with the knight. But why can't they just go back to c4?

[skakdosmer]

When I was a club player, say, roughly between 1990 and 2010 and rated around 1700, EVERYBODY in East Jutland played Nd4! So it was by no means a rare move - it was more or less the main line!
There ARE ways for White to deal with it, but those ways tend to take all the fun out of the game, which is not what you're looking for if you play Ng5. And still White has to play super accurately, while Black is having a much easier time. And if there's any fun, it tends to favour Black. That's why I quit playing Ng5.

[roblodocus]

The traxler was the first opening I really studied and it’s still one of my favourites. But these look like so much fun, I might have to rotate the traxler out for a while to try these out!

At 3:26 couldn’t the bishop just go to c4

[alancoe]

Thanks especially for being concise, yet reviewing what we're trying to do. This response to the Fried is way more dynamic than the Na5 that I normally play. Thanks.

[vxjkudn]

Bro tried to play fried liver after i saw that video. He regrets it.

[liamsun]

I firstly knew this line from a Ben Finegold lecture about the Fried Liver, Nd4 (instead of the common Na5) was suggested by a kid, and Ben suggests this is super complicated and the main line theory goes c3 b5 Bf1 Nxd5. I didn't understand the point of Bf1, just remembered it, but this video nicely shows why cxd4 is problematic for white. Also there are quite a few master games in the main line and black is doing fine even in the main line. Conclusion: Fritz Attack > Traxler.
