The Traxler Counter Attack is a very aggressive defense from black stemming from the two knights defense. Instead of defending the f7 square, black offers to counter attack the weakened square on f2 for white.

Apr 9, 2012 - How can the king castle (on the king's side) when the rook is being attacked by the knight? Seems illegal.

Apr 11, 2012 - 13:18 bishop to e2 checkmate, if he takes checkmate with the knight :) better than castling

Apr 20, 2012 - wow this is scary. Nightmare for aggresive player to taste his own medicine like this and struggle in very start of a game. Maybe not resign but i would like a draw in traxler for sure. Scary!!

May 4, 2012 - against the fried liver i like to play nxe4 instead of bc5. it has similar lines as this one with both knights and the queen working in unison

May 16, 2012 - What's a good move for black @ 3:22 if the White King moves to E3?
Luke51015 Says:
May 21, 2012 - What about king to e3 or f3 after knight takes e4 putting in check?
delsub2 Says:
May 22, 2012 - at 18.52 why not Bc5
delsub2 Says:
May 22, 2012 - at 20.12.... so after the Bc5, is it NECESSARILY curtains for white?
