The Fried Liver Attack
A real sacrifice, not a swindle: White gives up a knight to drag the black king into the middle of the board. Be honest about what it is worth — modern theory says Black survives with precise defence, which is exactly what a beginner cannot produce. So it is a practical weapon, not a refutation. The answer comes one move earlier: instead of recapturing on d5, play Na5. This is the attraction motif from course 3, in a real opening.
