The Fried Lopez

Or the Ruy-d Liver. This was the opening I ended playing in a recent local club event. Despite it starting as a normal Ruy, my opponent pushed my bishop onto the a2-g8 diagonal before castling and then let me play Ng5 with his bishop on f8. With a couple of extra tempo up my sleeve Nxd5 cried out for the sac on f7, and the game ended with a typical king hunt.
