Refuting the Traxler with 5.d4!

Sort:

So I was looking for what to do next in my series. And I saw a nice line against the Traxler that seems to give up a pawn at first but in reality gives excellent chances for white. Here it is, enjoy! 

The Traxler is a variation of the fried liver attack. It intends to counterattack white instead of defending f7 with d5

Now the engine says that either nxf7 or bxf7+ are the best moves. But they both require you to learn a lot of theory since black has lots of tricks up his sleeve. So that's why I recommend d4, it will take black by surprise. Here's the line.

You kinda left me unstatisified in the bxd4 line 

But after kf1 what if black plays d5 with the threat of bh3+

I think it's still proably winning but I think you should address this line be

I failed to address that but queen h5 check should refute it

Nxg6

If queen takes g6 we get into a winning endgame. If pawn takes then Qh8+ followed by bxd5 is winning too

If Kf7 Rh7+ is best though
