Traxler let’s me down again

Sort:
Viznik


Just giving away free ELO at this point. It seems after Kf2 white is uncontrollably winning.

In this position, according to the engine, it seems I just gave up a rook for absolutely no reason, and I’m suppose to play the game as normal down a rook from here on…

what do?

Traxler is the kind of opening I call A “gamble opening”

I think you can figure out the rest.

You missed the lines so this is your fault...

Move 7 was a blunder 

d5 was the best, look at the lines with a database but this is what I play

the right move isn't 7...Nxe4, it's 7...d5! threatening to play Bg4 and trap the queen - 8.exd5 Nd4! renewing the threat

It’s so theory dense😭

No, it's not

When the mainline is a forced draw then yes it is theory dense

Most masters play Bxf7, more than half of the games on lichess excluding U1800 play Bxf7. Stockfish give this position +5.2 for white

Increase the depth, I doubt it's more than +2
