further experimentation with the deferred traxler

Once again I work to stick a square peg in a round hole by trying to play the Traxler a tempo or two behind. The bishop check on 6 is fine for white but I like
7 Bb3 better for whites next move.(since writing this I checked my heisman traxler cd, he likes the move Be7 for black and black Bd5 better after check) As is consistant for my experience with most players of Ng5, white needs to better evaluate King Safety and Piece activity vs immediate material gain.

Here is an experiment forcing a traxler type game into a position where both of white knights are out. Not recommended. White went on to win this game.
