Fucking stupid video. This is basic defense against fried liver. The result wasn’t in anyway because of his counter attack fried liver.

PLAY 3. ...C5.. learn that line as black and white is hosed

Fun video. I found the background music distracting and irritating. The presenter’s voice is sufficient.

White never takes f7 pawn then u said its fried liver.. S2pd.

Clickbait

Another reason why he didn't take his knight because it would have opened up the white rook

I mean, Nf6 isn't baiting the Fried Liver, it's just a standard move top GMs like to play because it allows them to be more flexible with their Bishop placement and it avoids certain theory which is much more annoying to deal with than the Fried Liver.

Great Game as well as great commentary. I just subscribed 🎉

Sorry Not so nice presentation

Still waiting for fried liver ...

Ng5 is NOT the Fried Liver. Only after black takes on d5 and white plays Nxf7 is it the Fried Liver! Jeeze!

This is just the Two Knights Defense, not the Fried Liver.

In my experience, you need a good grinder and some onions.

What if white had taken the pawn with his F Rook instead and then after some trades it looks like white is still up a Rook right?

I dont understand the consequesnces of taking Qxe5 @3:00 .. At a beginned level thats what players will do

Bit boring

After the knight trade it stops being Fried Liver and becomes a normal tactical game.

It's easy to crush against fried liver. And I don't know why. For whatever reason I always end up better when someone gets cray cray

The speed magnus played is 😮

Anyone got a link of hikaru analyzing this game

easy to win if you are M.C

Bad mistake. This is not the fried liver but the two knights defense. Fried liver is to 5...Nxd5 and then 6. Nxf7 This is basically click bait

Look like the game takes totally different form when these GM:s are playing. me playing, cant even get decent attack.

Great one. From Barcelona, 1500 blitz

I plan on teaching Magnus the Traxler counterattack to the fried liver.

Very nice and informative, thanks.

Sorry but a very disappointing video.

Isn't ironic that Kremnik is leading a crusade against cheaters?

W. B. P-K4 P-K4 N-KB3 B-Q3 P-Q4. N-QB3 I don't let it get to fried liver or Ruy Lopez.

2 inaccuracies in the first minute of this video. 1. There's nothing wrong with the Traxler counter-gambit and 6.d4 is stronger than 6.Nxf7?! straight away...

U need to anaylse it a bit more. Good effort though, maybe pause st certsin points too to let viewers guess the key move

4.Ng5 is not the Fried Liver. The Fried Liver only happens if it continues 4...d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?! 6.Nxf7. Only *then* is it a Fried Liver. Also, in the line you gave, with 8.Ba4 is a mistake by White. Better is either 8.Bd3 or 8.Qf3 or 8.Be2

Thank'u

Honestly I’ve struggled with differences in the white bishop so I appreciate that description, would be more complete if you describe what happens when they fianchetto on b7 or g7 (jobava is inherently a kingside attack so that’d be suicidal imo

9:33 Interesting. I didn't realize that the dark squared bishop could move travel like that. Must be a special GM move.

Pues parece ser que Nara es un crío

You are providing massive value through your content. thank you so much

Excellent Video! Really appreciate your showing us the alternatives to play as white if Black does not allow the regular Jobava set up!

Great video! What if black responds to Bishop F4 with Knight to H5 in the third move?

I dont get it, people are scared of the Fried Liver, so stop playing Nf6 so fast, Bc5 or e7 and you wont have this problem, i see no advantage to play Nf6 before.

At my level this is particularly great because it sends a psychological message to opponent, "You've just fallen into the trap."

My Italian opening looks very much like that, including c3 to stop the knight jumping in and h3 to discourage pinning the f3 knight, but that's where the resemblance ends... I hate the forced white bishop trade for all the reasons you mentioned, so in Game #1 black taking with the rook was the mistake that allowed white to outpost the knight on that fantastic square f5. In Game #2 before resigning, as black I would at least have tried qa2 attacking the rook? Thank you for opening my eyes to all the potential of what can often be a very cramped game.

Very nice effort; great job. I know it's tempting to focus on quick pawn wins, but to progress, you'll need to focus on the most challenging moves.

1:58 Ba4? Thats a mistake in polerio defence. Does not look like you know the teory here but still a nice game rewiew. I understand its not advisable to enter the fried liver as black to people who dont study the lines there realy well. But i used to play fried liver as white. Now i stopped playing it as white and sometimes i have played it as black. I even played it over the board in classic game and i won that game. In freid liver white gives up a knight for a pawn and a exposed black king. And even the computer jumps forth and back in the lines. White realy has to know how to attack here if black knows about to handle it. Very risky i know. Easy for black to do a mistake. But it was realy funny to beat that guy. He took on f7 in the speed of a blitz game already showing he was thinking that he was already winning. Then few moves later showing that he did nkt know the variations that deep and that it was not that 3asy. Many players going for the fried liver are banking on the early mistakes. I started playing the lolli attack instead. I think the lolli is better. Delaying sacrificing the knight to a better moment.

Great video, well explained. As my mate plays the bird opening against me and he is a bit better than me (1800 to 2000 mark). I would love to see The bird opening and in particular, how to play against it.

Came to learn Jobava, learned Pirc instead, good stuff though

Im confused,,you call this what Magnus played the Polerio Defense and what Hikaru played thePolerio Defense. I always seen what Hikaru played was the Chigorin counter attack.

really good video, tx a lot!

Just an FYI: Pirc is pronounced "Peerts." Also, the 90% win rate is against what rating levels? Naroditsky is a strong GM, after all. He could play 1. f3 against most of us and win easily.

Sorry but what you say about the french defense is not accurate at all. As a french player, I'm very glad that you will tranpose the Jobava into a french. In the french defense, Rubinstein variation, every french player know that Nbd7 is the correct move (even Bd7 of the fort knox variation is ok). You did not even mention the french winawer and just mention a bad version of the Steinitz french where everyone know that d6 is a square to be carefull of with the knight.
