Traxler at its finest hour

Sort:
Conquistador

Here is a game I am playing with an almost 2200 that I have played which I am a queen up.  This could be the biggest win so far on chess.com.  In the final position, she offered a draw saying that I was a trappy player and I did not play a real game.  Well you can have your opinion, but you are just angry that I ruined your record of 32 wins, no losses or draws.  Please do not offer any analysis of future lines, but feel free to comment on the played moves.

EDIT: I was black not white.

"trappy" player? I.e. one who is clever and good at chess?

eaglex

i dont think nxf7 is really playable black scores almost 75% wins in that line

Conquistador

I probably helped with that lol.

Why did you choose to play Nxf7 when you know its inferior to Bxb7+?

ivandh

^ That is just hilarious.

trappy player??, to me that was pritty strait forward..

Conquistador

Oops I was black in that game, not white lol!

AceBird

oh i dont under stand why you went 53.B)Qc7+, instead you should have played Qe6+ forking the king and kight then taking knight after that turn??? any ways gg!!

eaglex

qe6 doesnt fork but  if qe3 then rd3

Well, Conq, let's be honest and with no disrespect: Clearly traxler/wilkesbarre is an EXTREMELY TRAPPY opening.  That doesn't take away the fact that you beat her fair and square and offering the draw at the end was just weird.

Furthermore, anyone who plays against the 2knights defense heading towards the "fried liver" and isn't aware of the "TraxBarre" certainly needs a spanking and you provided it!

The big question is..

Did you accept the draw???

Conquistador

Nope I finished the game out up a queen and three pawns to her king and she timed out.

I beat a 2238!

Sweet game. I'd say it looks real to me, whatever she said.

9.c3 is a known error...leading to a lost game.

9.d6 is White's only try for an advantage. Admittedly, after 9.d6 White is better in every line that I've seen.

Source - I played the Traxler as Black for a while, and did some extensive analysis on these lines.

Conquistador

Funny I have seen the opposite.  Would you like a game in that variation to test and I play as black?
