Answers.Text: The king and queen are not mirrored! :-) This is not just to be pedantic but because there are no mirror-image counterparts to the Fried Liver Attack or the Traxler Counterattack. For example after 5.dxe5, 5...Nxe5 is obviously not an option as White can simply play 6.Bxe5, while in the Two Knights Defense, 5...Nxd5 is not nearly as bad, even if risky.

  Here are some mistakes you should avoid while playing the so-called Jobava Attack.
  3...c5 is one good answer, and as you can see 4.Nb5 is not working here.
  The video below also shows many tactics in the middlegame, after other continuations like 3...c6 and 3...e6.
  After 14...Rfc8?! 15.Nf5 the best response is taking the knight and accepting a shattered pawn structure. Otherwise white is much better (+1.3 in the least: https://lichess.org/analysis/standard/r1r3k1/3bqppp/p3pn2/np1p2B1/3P4/P1NB3P/1PPQ1PP1/3RR1K1_b_-_-_1_17)
