Fritz variation, huh. Opponent has to find c3 for a slight advantage, but nothing unplayable for black.

Nice vid

Nice video, but there was no fried liver in it. This is the fried liver:

Thanks 🙏 Yea that’s why I said in the vid more advanced players would play the c3 line and then showed a nice line to play.

Fried Liver Attack is this move order 
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nf6
4. Ng5

exactly as in the video as soon as the Knight goes on g5 this is the Fried Liver Attack.

The fried liver attack has always been the knight sac 6. Nxf7.

A few years ago some very popular streamers/youtubers started incorrectly referring to 4. Ng5 as the fried liver, and then everyone began to repeat it inadvertently spreading this misinformation.

Yes, Ng5 is Knight Attack as far as I know too. Its Fried Liver if we get to sack on f7 after Nxd5.

I play the Traxler. It's very easy to win with the following moves (assuming white doesn't play pawn d6 after nd4 and have the next 20 engine moves memorized)

There's various forced mating sequences or major material wins by black around here, especially if black castles queenside. I forgot the exact moves, but many players simply play cxd4 and lose immediately to QF6
