I searched my Chessbase Big Database 2001 for Fried Liver games, from this line: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7 Kxf7 Out of 1.7 million games there were 256 Fried Liver games, with these results: White wins = 192 Black wins = 45 Draws = 19 I observed most of these games ended fairly quickly, with very few long games. :-) Regards Dave
