Have you considered 5 Bxf7+

Any new analysis ?!? So far, it was shown that 5. Nxf7 leads to a tricky draw.

No it just always wins. It just does. Even though it doesn't, it does.
The traxler counterattackisn't as clear cut as you think. White can hold and/or win.

LMAO Unbeatable argument! 
Ninov - Marzolo
10... Ne4+ 11.Kf1 +- how should Black win here? Variations please.
Sorry i meant 10... Ne4+ 11.Kg1 of course.
So 10.c3 seems to be a mistake. The winners in the two games I posted went with 10.Kxf2.
Except in the game I posted where White won.
I was lured here to find out that Wayne Thomas poked holes in the claim.
5.Nxf7 is a mistake, which throws away the best part of an advantage which white can secure after either 5.Bxf7+ or (my personal preference) 5.d4(!)
In all variations, white gets mated, or EASILY loses. In some variations, after ke2, the king ends up getting mated on the back rank or in the center!
