    Watched this video, played a short game, then another with black pieces and... opponent goes for Italian game! Heart rate goes up, opponent moves Ng5 and GOES FOR FRIED LIVER! Set up Traxler with Bc5, opponent goes Nf7, it's on! Hit Bf2+, Kf2. This is it! Don't mess up! Anxiety, glory, chaos! Then what? Checkmate with black pieces on 10 moves! Thank you!

    I remember seeing a friend in my highschool chess club show me a move sequence where a bishop sacrifice lead to the enemy king being pried out, and hounded to checkmate. Now I know what it was! It must have been the Traxler defense that I saw those many years ago.

      @@scoffcat7062 I got a guy playing that. Play Qh4+. If he moves the king to f1, Qf2#. Ke2 is also Qf2+, Kd3 and Qd4+, ke2 and d5 (to activate the bishop). then it is mate in like 2 or 3 moves. whites best move after Qh4+ is g3. Take with the Knight, if he takes back you have a free rook with check. play that out right and you will be up material, or even mate him. I didn't play out all scenarios, but unless you blunder big you will be up material. I made 2 mistakes and still ended up with more material and won the game. And I am pretty bad at chess, there is probably a way better way to win in that situation.

    Been studying this counter-attack as a 1100 player, because I've seen the fried liver a few times and it's been annoying to deal with while developing how I want to, and after learning it, I finally got someone to fall for it and it felt ooooh so good. The moment he realized his queen was completely trapped and those 2 full minutes in Blitz where I just get to sit back and sip my drink as I watch his mental state crumble silently... I would say this video should have more views and likes, but I don't want this 1100s to catch on so I can get a nice free win every once in a while.

That'll save me so. Much. Time. Thank you.

    Was watching your new video and saw a game where your opponent played the fried liver. Which I see like 90% of the time in my games. Your advice was to play the traxler so I came here. This was just the kind of advice I was looking for to elevate my gameplay and finally have a response to fried liver attacks other than trying to do it first or getting out of the way. Another great video.

    Hey, I really enjoy your content. It has taught me so much. I was watching your new series Chess Steps when you talked about the Traxler. Which made me seek out this video. I studied it and decided to try it next time the opportunity arises. And well, it did today! It was an absolute victory and my opponent, allthough rated 200 points above me, had no idea what hit him. It got me a 95,7% accuracy rating. One of my highest so far. I mostly end up between 60 to high 80. Thanks again and keep making these videos!
