This is a modification of the famous Fried Liver Attack of Paul Morphy. I had memorized the entire game because I knew that Dave loved the Two Knights Defense. Dave didn't know the attack, but he played it perfectly for nine moves! I had to improvise the ending, but it worked neatly.
| 1. e2-e4, e7-e5. | |
| 2. Ng1-f3, Nb8-c6. | |
| 3. Bf1-c4, Ng8-f6. | This is the classic Two Knights Defense. |
| 4. Nf3-g5, d7-d5. | |
| 5. e4xd5, Nf6xd5. | |
| 6. Ng5xf7! Ke8xf7. | Snatching the pawn is where the Fried Liver begins. |
| 7. Qd1-f3+, Kf7-e6. | The King must try to save his trusty knight! |
| 8. Nb1-c3, Nc6-d4. | Dave surprised me by following Morphy's game perfectly! |
| 9. Bc4xd5+, Ke6-d6. | The threat of Qf3-f7+ keeps Dave in the center. |
| 10. Qf3-f7, Kd6-c5. | Dave sees the Nc3-e4 mate threat. Here he departs from the classic game. |
| 11. Nc3-a4+, Kc5-b5. | |
| 12. Na4-c3+, Kb5-a5. | I have no plan; just keeping up pressure! |
| 13. b2-b4+, Ka5xb4. | A gambit to develop my rook. I didn't see Bf8xb4. |
| 14. Ra1-b1+, Kb4-c5. | Now I'm glad he didn't play Kb4-a5. |
| 15. Bc1-a3 mate. | Or Nc3-e4 mate. |
