Traxler counterattack

Hello all. My last article here here was about the knight attack on the Italian game. @mig1977 wrote : « 1st line) in Traxler's attack white's correct continuation is not to take the Bishop but playing 6. Kf1! forcing Qe7. This keeps you from lots of trouble, because black ferocious attacks have come quite to an end. Anyhow, it is still very complicated, and any missed move can result in a immediate loss.

In the situation above 9 ... Nxh1 is not the best option for black. After 9 ... Nd4! a draw by perpetual would be the best white can achieve, with many possibilities left to blunder ».

The first question is What is the Traxler counterattack ?

After that White can continue with 5. Nxf7 or Bxf7+

5. Nxf7 :

5. Bxf7+
