About the Fried Liver Attack

A tactical White course in the Two Knights: Ng5, the Fried Liver sacrifice, ...Na5 main line, and Traxler awareness.

This is a playable repertoire, not a video course. You meet each position on the board, play the move yourself, and the opponent answers with the reply club players actually choose. Lines you have seen come back on a spaced schedule so they survive past the day you learned them.
