Aggressive Checkmate (Fried Liver Attack)

January 01, 2011

I usually play the “Italian Game” opening as white which occasionally means I have the opportunity to play the “Fried Liver Attack”

Here was a game I played today that ended in an early checkmate:

1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bc4 Nf6
4.Ng5 d5
5.exd5 Nxd5
6.Nxf7 Kxf7
7.Qf3+ Ke6
8.Nc3 Nd4
9.Bxd5+ Ke7
10.Qf7+ Kd6
11.Ne4# 1-0
