I played a similar game in 2004. Instead of 9.d3, my opponent played 9.Be2 Bh4 10.g3 Bh3 11.Kg1 Qc5 12.gxh4 Nf3 mate 0-1 Madcat-Wall, Internet Gaming Zone 2004. Perhaps best is 9.c3, although 9.Bb5+ and 9.h3 have been tried. In your game, White loses quickly with 12.Kg1. White could have held out longer (but still losing) with 12.Ke1, but now Black has 12...Qh4 13.g3 Qh3.

...I just had to post this wild and short game I just played. Those who know me know that I love to play Traxler Countergambit against the Fried Liver Attack. My personal nickname for this opening is '21 or less' because the matches that involve these lines are usually decided either way inside of the first 21 moves. Enjoy!
