Answers.Body: <p>I think the name for <code>4. Ng5 is Knight Attack</code>. There isn't a specific name, because it leads to more specific openings, like the Fried Liver Attack, Polerio Defense <code>4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Na5</code> (trying to prevent the sacrifice), the Traxler Countergambit <code>4. Ng5 Bc5</code>, and more. It's just like how <code>1. e4 e5</code> is called the <code>open game</code>. There isn't a specific name for it, because it will lead to more specific opening.</p>

Body: <p>Just like the title says, is there a name for the line starting with 4.Ng5 in 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 called?</p>
  <p>Wikipedia article <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Knights_Defense" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Knights_Defense</a>, does not give a name.</p>
  <p>This Youtube video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKoZkrBWDbU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKoZkrBWDbU</a> refers to 4.Ng5 as <em>The Knight Attack</em>, but I searched for it and I don't see other references to <em>The Knight Attack</em>.</p>
  <p>Also, often people refer to 4.Ng5 as Fried Liver attack, which I believe is incorrect, since Fried Liver attack arises later in the game, after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7.</p>

Comments.Text: I would probably call it the Prussian game, although technically that might only apply to 4...d5 5.exd5 .
  I am not sure if there's an explicit name for just 4.Ng5 .

Comments.Text: I think the answer to this is just "No.", but that feels more like a comment. Lots of lines are just called by their defining move.

Title: Does 4.Ng5 in Two Knights Defense have a name?
ThreadText: # Does 4.Ng5 in Two Knights Defense have a name?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-01)
  
  Just like the title says, is there a name for the line starting with 4.Ng5 in 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 called?
  
  Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Knights_Defense>, does not give a name.
  
  This Youtube video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKoZkrBWDbU> refers to 4.Ng5 as *The Knight Attack*, but I searched for it and I don't see other references to *The Knight Attack*.
  
  Also, often people refer to 4.Ng5 as Fried Liver attack, which I believe is incorrect, since Fried Liver attack arises later in the game, after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7.

  I think the name for `4. Ng5 is Knight Attack`. There isn't a specific name, because it leads to more specific openings, like the Fried Liver Attack, Polerio Defense `4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Na5` (trying to prevent the sacrifice), the Traxler Countergambit `4. Ng5 Bc5`, and more. It's just like how `1. e4 e5` is called the `open game`. There isn't a specific name for it, because it will lead to more specific opening.
