hello i'm quangk and today i gonna talk about the

Traxler Counter Attack 

you might be scare at this opening when you hear the name but it not that scary

also before starting i want to give credit to @little_guinea_pig for challenging me this opening and thechesswebsite on youtube who gave me information 

I.Introduction and how to play

This opening usually will be from the italian game the move are simple:

1.e4 e5

2.Nf3 Nc6

3.Bc4 Nf6!?

4.Ng5 

double teaming the weak f7 pawn now here come the Traxler Counter Attack (sidenote:if black play d5 then we getting into the fried liver attack but it consider a different opening) But here the thing in this opening for black he gonna ingore that f7 pawn and do a counter attack on white's weak  f2 pawn

4....Bc5 

now people playing white  go for 5.Nxf7!? look good because you are forking queen and rook but black have the amazing sac with 5.....Bxf2+!!! this is the critiacal position for this opening

II.Variations

The main variations for this opening dont have a name so here some variations i make up name 

1.The main line 

In the main line

white play 6.Kxf2 

black play 6.....Nxe4+ to get his queen out and go in to the attack

when the king move now in most case the person playing white go for 7.Kf1 but 7.Kg1 is better because it doesnt put the white king on an open file

after 7.Kg1

black will play 7.Qh4 this make  black get his queen out with tempo he threatening to play 8.Qf2# so white defend with 8.Qf3 then 8....Nd4!!! white respond an attack with an attack and play 9.g3 but that open up the king 9.Qh3+!!! white must block the check with his queen(or else he lose his queen) with 10.Qg2 but ya know what that open the f file black can play  10....Qf5+!!! the queen cant block or else he lose his queen so white play 11.Ke1 and then 11.Nxc2+!!!!!!!! and let just stop here and say white cant survive in this position

and there more but i cant cover
