I survived the deadly traxler!

Yeah, you read it right. I survived the traxler counterattack.

Mainly because Of his wrong move. It was transposed into traxler so I did not understand and that is why I fell into it in the first place. I emerged with an amazing advantage. Can't believe i managed to survive that opening.
Your opponent clearly had no idea how to play the traxler. I believe 7... Qh4 is the correct move, and trading queens was ridiculous.
qf6 was at least a worth a blunder mark (?) or even a awesome blunder mark(??)
Bringing your King that up was a bit impressive for me. Of course your opponent did not know how to play the traxler
This is a ridiculous and gross move order. You should have played Nxe5 instead of Ng5. Ng5 deserves at least one question mark. Qf6 deserves 2
I'll point out that 5.Bxf7+ is probably a more practical alternative to the "main line" of 5.Nxf7. After 5...Ke7 (or 5...Kf8) and just 6.Bb3 I don't really understand where black is getting compensation, especially with the awful king position. White just shouldn't play like a lunatic and he should be at least a clean pawn up.

Therefore I would say that the Traxler is more "dangerous" for black than for white if we're being honest.

Well, it is true but only if white knows how to refute the traxler.

Do nothing and don't post anything here if you have problems with me posting this.
