A successful Fried Liver attack.

  • 10... Nc2xa1
    ? And now black's knight, which could have been useful in defense, is stuck at a1 for the duration. Better would have been Nd4.
    • 11. Nc3xd5 Ke6d6 12. d4 Qd8h4
      !? The expected move was exd4. ...Qh4 is the first departure from the known lines of the Fried Liver attack. It allows white an additional attacking advantage, but creates an offensive threat that requires white to move very carefully, and perhaps more importantly takes white "off the book."
      • 13. dxe5 Kd6c6 14. Nd5e7
        !? Nf6 would have removed the possibility of Kd7, but Ne7 prevents the bishop at f8 from interfering in later forced-move combinations.
        • 14... Kc6b6
          ...Kd7 might have been better here.
          • 15. Bc1e3 c5
            This is black's only viable move here. Anything else leads to a quick forced mate.
            • 16. Be3xc5
              ! This is a trap for black. The bishop is poison.
              • 16... Kb6xc5
                ? Black takes the bait and white now has mate in three. A better move would have been ...Kc7 leading to a longer game, with possibilities for white to slip up.
                • 17. Qf3d5 Kc5b6 18. Qd5d6 Kb6a5 19. Qd6b4
                  Fini.
