    Boy, that's some mean chess. The traxler definitely looks like an opening that requires a leap of faith by black as well as a grasp of the initiative.

    It's a countergambit I feel very comfortable playing. In regular play I often sac a bishop to move the king. With the glorious successes/failures that come with that type of play.

    It's not a great leap of faith in that black often wins with accurate play (although the lines are tricky. I think that white should not take knight f7 but bishop f7 check. This I find more difficult and chessgames show more victories for white with this. My experience show most players play the greedy NXf7

    You are right that the initiative is everything. Black needs to sac and trade pieces to open lines and
    keep fueling the attack. Blacks victory depends on his ability to
    bring new pieces quickly into the attack.
    I thought in this game white should of played 14. bishop takes knight but Fritz still shows this loses for white. Unsure if I would of seen the right conclusion.

    Fun stuff . I will post other traxlers as they are played in the future.
