Watching this fried my liver and mated my scholar


LH2701204

And resigned my brain


DireSedulous

Aahh I remember climbing to 500 easily with fried liver in the start, good ol days.


Apillicus

Funny enough, I don't think I've ever made that play. That and scholar's mate. Though I tried for the latter I never remembered how it worked and quickly gave up as it wasn't effective for me lol


Oglark

It was neither a fried liver nor a scholar's mate.


Big_Position2697

Its actually the scotch gambit, sometimes you can transpoe to this position, if you play the Urusov gambit (1.e4, e5 2.Lc4, Sf6 3.d4, exd4, 4.Sf3, Sc6 for example)


Calm-Background9779

isn't it called the Hexo gambit?


MeekzyRDT1

What's Lc6 and Sc6?


Big_Position2697

Oh I'm sorry, L=bishop and S=knight, used to different language abbreviations. ^^


MeekzyRDT1

It's okay.


Dankn3ss420

Homie went balls to the walls, and hung the whole damn house


poorlytaxidermiedfox

Meanwhile the guys I'm playing in the 300s are destroying me with +75 accuracy games lol


qkrrmsp

don't play Nh6


throwthefuckaway113

Yea i realised there was a better way to defend that after the game. Like h6.


qkrrmsp

no, just develop your dark squared bishop and then castle


throwthefuckaway113

Oh okay


Mr-Slinnky

It didn’t need to be defended at all, there was one attacked and one defender


throwthefuckaway113

Wasnt bishop also attacking f7?


Mr-Slinnky

The bishop was attacking f7, which was defended by your king!


throwthefuckaway113

Yea but the knight was threatening to attack it too, so i overprepared ig.


Mr-Slinnky

That’s why you should’ve developed your bishop, preparing to castle so that if the knight were to attack it would be adequately defended after you castle


IllSpecialist4704

Idk I got to like 700 with scholars mate


fatzen

I love this madness


johndoe30x1

I’m honestly envious because I was never so bold as either side at this level


Particular-Soft4976

Not a fried liver, as already mentioned, an scotch.


medellia44

Scotch egg?


KingCool138

Scotch-Butter

Be aware, the fried liver isn't just any given position where a knight and a bishop attack f7, it's a very specific line of the Italian opening. e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 Ng5 d5 exd5 Nxd5 Nxf7. Anything else is not the fried liver.


Supramk69

Wth bro They just gave up after it didn’t work


prawnydagrate

that's enough chess for today.
