That's true if you want to play 1...e5 against 1.e4, but you don't have to. Obviously, every opening has its various traps and cheeses, but if you hated the fried liver so much, why not try the sicilian or the french?

Haha, I'll be honest, I have no idea what the sicilian or french is. I just played casually on the weekends.

This is funny as I'm a beginner who has played plenty of the French and plenty of other openings like Queen's Gambit and Scicilian, but have never heard of Fried Liver. So we're the same, but total opposites.
