So I am on lichess in the 700es range and I continue to have these players as opponents who early on attack really aggressively.They must have some success with this (element of surprise I guess), but if I look at the stockfish analysis there moves arent so smart. (difficult enough for me to fend off though). I sometimes feel a little dumb, though because it can be quite hard to find out how to stop their attacks..
I used to spam the fried liver whenever possible and get the opponent to resign after I take their queen. This stopped when I reached 1300ish. I got slaughtered positionally by better players and haven't played the fried liver ever since.
The point is, your opponent is more likely to resign or lose major pieces early on and you'd have the advantage. But its a short victory. In the long run, you'll have to study middle game and end game tactics and positions to progress.
