After Kf8 Bb3 Ke8 he actually should resign. It's always funny when bad low rated players bluff the traxler, not knowing anything about it. They "learn" the refutation to Fried Liver just 1 move deep in hope it scares opponent off. Most amazing part is it actually works around 20% of time. Better ones learn only bad Nxf7 refutation mainline, but never anything about Bxf7. Low elo meta is astonishing.

Out of 3,7k games only 21 games reached theoretical Qf1. Avg. rating 2,1k btw.On lower elo it's just safe sailing for black with high WR. Issue though is Bxf7. Black is indeed considerably worse there after Ke7. It's bad but people seem to don't know lines either, so maybe it's still playable. For example after Bb3 Rf8 only about 50 games went on with best Nc3. I feel that on lower elo Traxler is scary as fuck and we are talking about that range.

@DonFreeq3 жыл бұрын
@@BM-hj6lq White is slightly better than +1, around +1.5. But yeah, noone studies seriously Traxler, so you can outprepare opponent. Issue though is that if white plays Fried Liver he most likely knows some lines against Traxler and it's up to them whether to choose Nxf7 or Bxf7 where you need to study carefully both. And than you need to escape from their limited lines where objectively you are close to losing. That means you need to do much more prep. than your opponent to play Traxler with a success. It's potentially extremely dangerous, but it involves A LOT of effort. Hence why it's "scary as a fuck". You never know how well prepared is opponent and if you guess badly you probably have just lost. And let's be honest - white doesn't study Traxler that badly, because Bc5 occurs like every 6-7 games, so there is always a chance you are totally behind in prep.

Traxler my favorite counterattack
@bocyaJmaneloC3 жыл бұрын
I thought up the Traxler on my own after playing against the fried liver like 50 times. I calculated up to Qh4. He played g3, then Nxg3 hxg3 Qxg3+ Kf1, I played d5 to bring out my bishop, Bxd5, and my one mistake was castling instead of Rf8, which allows Qh5, threatening checkmate and defending the knight on f7. My opponent played Rg1 though, which loses in a few moves after Bh3+.
@DonFreeq3 жыл бұрын
Issue though is if Qh4 happened it means he already fucked up before with Nxf7 + Kxf2 and all what you saying is irrelevant. In correct lines against Traxler Qh4 never happens. Objectively speaking Traxler is poor defense - correct lines in Bxf7 are just losing for black, but as you pointed out people don't know moves. For example after Bb3 Rf8 Nc3 if we pick Qe8 line after Nd5+ Nxd5 exd5 Nd4 c3 Nxb3 we are already below 5 games territory and wining move is Qxb3 which in most databases is non existing. Literally had been never played before. And we are just 7 moves deep after Bc5. So yeah, Traxler may be objectively dubious, but if you are well prepared it's definitely fully playable refutation apart from GM lvl. Still... if someone plays Kxf2 it means he doesn't know anything =D Correct move is Kf1.
@bocyaJmaneloC3 жыл бұрын
@@DonFreeq Yes, it was only a 1600s game and I correctly guessed that my opponent, like myself, wouldn't know the theory. I saw that Bxf7 was probably just winning for white, but figured my opponent was unlikely to see the tactical difficulties after Nxf7 (which looks more appealing on the surface). As for Kxf2, I knew Kf1 would have been the better move, but black is still on the offensive and a single wrong move can swing the game in their favor. And I'm not surprised the line you showed isn't in databases because it doesn't make any sense.

It is a skill that is valuable even when you would play another opening (like say the scotch gambit).

@DonFreeq3 жыл бұрын
@@studentt6064 For me it's a mistake, maybe not the clearest though, if white opts to recapture with knight. Double pawn sack is different story. Based on stats after Qe7 black has higher WR and d5 leads to equality, while dxc3 Nxc3 gives considerably better WR for white. Apart from that it's just tough to play against Nxc3. You are lacking development, so you need to be accurate in general. If you run engine on Nxc3 it won't initially give a full comp, but it's based on very concrete, somewhat unnatural moves like Qe7. When you stick to 2-nd, 3-rd best, natural moves, after digging into lines engine will actually realize white has full comp and as a black you are defending site. Noone likes to defend when opponent has full comp. My point is if you need to play sth like Qe7 anyway to keep your advantage, why not to begin with it?

Basically, when a piece is defending another piece (the Knight and Queen for example), if you were to remove that knight from protecting the queen, and were able to check them in the same move, it removes the defender from the queen and allows you to take the piece after the trade. There are tricks to this, in some cases the undefended piece can move and protect the king from check but in most cases it is not able to.

Man, love watching his videos but that Traxler game really pissed me off. As someone who plays the Italian and knows fried liver theory, White is completely fine with taking on f7 with the knight. The key is after black takes on f2 you play king f1 and black really doesnt have much after that, even with perfect play. The opponent will often play nxe4 anyway but that is simply a huge blunder and black is already lost before that but has no comp whatsoever after that move. Very disappointed he would even say its a draw, thats just wild to me. I watch these videos to learn from him, never thought I would know more about a certain position than him.
