Backing up half a move, 7.Kf1 is a losing blunder! 7.Kg1 looks a lot better
Kxf2 is actually already pretty bad.
But yeah if you want to take the bishop you have to oplay Kg1.

13...Qf6 looks dubious. Personally I would have castelled queenside in that position and black should be better there.
12...Nxd5. e4 is better, the queen can't take the h7 pawn immediatly giving you time time to play 13...Nxc2.

you're welcome, though he wasnt able to finish discussiing the whole thing.
About the super sacrifice :
The position is unclear, I would prefer white.
This position is absolutely drawn as long as white stays on the rim of the board and white's queen CAN NOT INTERFERE. That is why I consider that capturing the bishop is a mistake, because the queen moves near its king, and white has good chances to win. The bishop doesn't stop the perpetual, so you needn't take it.
It is much more satisfying to play aggressive for a win, but it is often not possible with extremely aggressive openings like this.
Tell me what you think. I am new here ^^

I play the Traxler as Black and have only 2 games where my opponent played 7.Kf1. I won both.
Bh4 then ne2 you had checkmate why did u resign?
Hey all, I decided to try the traxler gambit in a tournament and I came off out of the opening a bishop for a rook, and I want to know I could have done to prevent this happening
