How to Beat the Fried Liver Attack

Here's a short game where I show a pretty good alternative to responding to the Fried Liver Attack.

In the forums, so far I only have seen the move 3...h6 (the "anti friend liver") as well as some other responses, which I will show.

If you think those responses are the only way to deal with the Fried Liver Attack, then here's an alternative suggestion.

Your game avoids the Fried Liver; it does not beat it. The line that you reject beginning with 5...Nxd5 is the Fried Liver. Most players avoid fried liver because the flavor is strong, despite its nutritional value. I prefer it with grilled onions, but also avoid it in most OTB games. I avoid it by playing 1...e6.

lol yeah, my post was a little sarcastic, and in response to some of the posts talking about white playing the fried liver. The point is that black is the one that brings the fried liver upon him/herself.

It takes two to tango.
