  <p>...with a small advantage for White.  I see both players having a good game here.  However, I suspect Black is walking a tightrope.  That is, to maintain parity, Black must play <em>much</em> better than White.</p>

Answers.Text: Good answer.  Buried in the link you gave is one of my favorite games: [Morphy-NN 1-0, New Orleans Blindfold Simul](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1224558).  Morphy's moves in that game are perfect, even per modern computers (with sufficient analysis).

  <p>Now the usual move in the Fried Liver Attack is <code>9. Nc3</code> attacking the knight on <code>d5</code>, but the <code>d</code>-pawn heads this off. Is the Fried Liver Attack still viable in the Scotch Gambit/Two Knights Defense?</p>

Comments.Text: The whole line looks very suspect. I'm at work, but at least 5...Ne5, 7...Qe7+ and 7...Bb4+ seem worth checking first. I've never seen 5.Ng5 in the Scotch Gambit.

Comments.Text: This opening just transposed into a Lolli Attack (variation of fried liver with d4 instead of Nxf7), where black has played poorly and white is in a much better position. White castles here.. threats things such as Re1, Bf4 and Nc3! (sacrificing for clearance)
