if your looking for crazy unsound games as black from the two knights, the fritz is better. traxler is refuted very easily. either by bxf7+ or after nxf7 bxf2+ kf1! instead the fritz is really good. heres a common line (up to move 13)
Traxler Aattack

i'm not really as fan of it but i know for certain that the traxler is not refuted at all.
From a practical point of view it's easyer to play the W side after Bxf7 followed by Bb3 (Bd5 is more comblicated to handle, anand once lost as W while using this move) but objectively B is not resourceless.
The fritz variation is definitely in a worse theoretical shape as far as i know. Chesspub subscrivers have analized it deeply and B appears in very bad shape.
I usually play the Fried Liver Attack against two knights defense. I am not comfortable when black does the counter attack to white with Traxler Attack e.g (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 Bc5 5. ?? ) Can someone please help me to find the good line for White against the deadly Traxler attack ? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help.
