This video was great to show what happens when White plays into the traps that Black makes. However, as pretty much a master of the Traxler myself, I was cringing at most of the white moves. (For example, 6. Kxf2 is actually a drawn line; best for white is actually 6. Kf1 and white can actually hold this advantage.)

Yeah I completely agree but as I mentioned this was for lower rated players. I was thinking about going into the advanced lines but not many people know the Traxler. Your lines are accurate and they can defend but as I said kg1 is the best move. After a trade off right there the board is equal but black still has a significant advantage as per development. Lower rated players get overwhelmed by the sight of 2 pieces hunting down that weak f pawn so this was just a sort of prevention. Glad you watched the video though. I might make a part 2 covering some of your lines and going in deeper but the video would’ve been way too long lol.
