Important Traxler Note

Very important PSA on the Traxler:

TAKE THE PAWN!!!

Dont make this absolutely smooth brain mistake I made. This was my very first time ever playing the Traxler and it was working so beautifully until I got too excited and just checked with the knight. Don’t do this! Because, as you can see, the queen just easily take it and now you’re down pieces.

Instead, take the pawn.

Commit that to memory; take the pawn, it’s still check.

But seriously the Traxler must be so OP for me to get back to a winning position after that colossal blunder

Black doesn't have to repeat moves, when the queen is on f4, he can play something like Nf3+ and after Kf1, white has this nasty double check, Nh2+. now white can try for a knight and queen mate

Black can do other moves, but they aren't objectively good...

wdym? Kxf2 is probably the worst move, black can easily force a win
