Traxler counterattack Nxf7?

Love it. It is my favourite thing to play against as white.
Fritz 17 ( depth 37 ( depth 47+ Bxf7 Stockfish) ) now beat Stockfish 10 but this engine can't understand Nxf7 is not good move
I think very strong engines can't defend this position ( not very high depth ( depth 47 ex.) )

today this varition is not popular because Bxf7! Ke7 ( forced no fork ideas) Bc4 ( best square for bishop)
but still black playing for win

ıf black don't play Bc5
play d5 exd5 Na5 Bb5 c6 dxc6 bxc6 Qf3 ( very high depth move played by Bogolujubov)
guess next Blackburne , computer ( very very high depth ) move

solution
:
cxb5!! Qxa8 Qc7 ( idea Nc6) ( somebody says this varition is bad cxb5 but not white need equalize game
only 1 match played perfectly with white pieces and draw is agreed)
before this game Qf3 only played by not strong players

Bc5?( 50% White wins 50% Black wins (Black wins Immortal match you can look at lichess database ) 2 good ( 2+ high level games at chessbase database) games)
this move is bad
Qc7!! is good move
An excellent opening! All lines lead to almost equal postion as I have proved in one of my studies, unfortanely, no players go for Ng5 after two knights defense...

is the study
