    I played one today as well :-)

    If you want, you can check it out. Above is the notation.

    You did good yourself ;-)

    Keep it up and you'll become a genuine Traxler master ;-)

    Man that is sweet! especially 12..Qg5 I am unsure if I would of calculated that.

    My opponent actually asked me to take the move back because he tought i was giving away my Queen for free. And i was :-)

    All i was thinking about was delivering check (mate) with the Knight on d4 after 12.Qg5 Qxg5 13.Ne2 checkmate. But the attack would have been deadly even if White tried to defend properly.

    These games never cease to amaze me.

    how come none of these games feature 5.Bxf7+ ?

    seems to me it's a low risk way to grab a pawn for free.

    1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.Bb3 *

    and now white is a pawn up, zero pieces/pawns hanging, and threat of Nf7 is now very real for black.

    this opening seems like a one-trick trap (hoping for 5.Nxf7). i think black has big problems with decent play from white. or am i missing something? is black ok in my line above? i dont see any compensation for black's pawn and bad king, but i've not studied this opening. just wondering. cheers.

    You are absolutely right in that is the better way to play it. However in most case white thinks he can win great material a rook instead of a queen by the Knight fork. Traxler theory agrees with you. The bishop is a fairly even game. see some past comments in my recent blogs were I posted some chessgames links.

    should read of course a rook instead of a pawn. also about
    80-90 of the games the knight lands on f7. play is very tricky for black.
