We still need more players to join our match. We have four and will be glad to have everyone join!

I think so unless someone can find an answer to all the refutations. I tried my best, but maybe fresh eyes might find something?

Worrying news in the latest thread, is 6. Bb3 the death of the traxler?!

Yeah, I saw that just before I left for the weekend. I don't know that we should accept, seeing as how we're a Traxler group, not a 960 group.

I really like chess960. I've only played a few games but I think it's great fun.

I've still got too much to learn in regular chess to even start with 960.

A few days ago we were challenged to a chess960 team match against Havnar Telvingharfelag. I'm rather inclined to decline (especially a chess960 match), but I thought I'd check with the group first.

I don't think that Nxf7 looses. There are variations in which white draws

I got a Candidate Master to analyse the Traxler Gambit. He said that 5.Nxf7 (??) loses for white after 5...Bxf2.

Everybody, we have begun our first Vote Chess match in the Traxler against Kairav's Chess Masters.

Ok. So all the lines where black gets an advantage, are deviations by white.

But with best play, can we say the Traxler is a draw or a win for black? On the current analysis.

I believe it's a move by White in the Nxf7 variation

There are a lot of lines that lead to perpetual, i.e. (from the starting position) 5.Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6.Kxf2 Nxe4+ 7.Kg1 Qh4 8.g3 Nxg3 where White should just play 9.hxg3 and allow perpetual.

Which side gives the novelty to reach the perpetual though? Is it a move by white or an inaccuracy by black which allows it...

We still have some unresolved lines, but almost everything seems to lead to perpetual, an even endgame, or advantage black. You can glance through the forums to get some ideas, too.

Could anyone update me on the situation? Who appears to be winning at the moment?

I'm creating a forum called Resources, where we can post urls (e.g. the NIC pdf that Gonnosuke put in the public forum)

Well, I've only actually read the De Zeeuw articles, but in Bucker's chesscafe column he mentions a few others, so we've probably covered their analysis too. I'm not aware of more recent articles, did you find something there that might upset our evaluations?
