Was under the impression the bust to the Traxler was 5.Nxf7! Bxf2+ 6.Kxf2! Nxe4+ 7.Ke3!!

The last time we looked at that line, I remember that it was fairly forcing for both sides.

5.Nxf7 Bxf2+ 6.Kxf2 Nxe4+ 7.Ke3 Qh4 8.g3 Nxg3 9.hxg3 Qd4+ 10.Kf3 d5 11.Rh4 e4+ 12.Kg2 0-0 which branched off into a number of variations.

One example line would be this:

13.Bb3 Rxf7 14.Qg1 Qe5 15.Nc3 g5 which should be equal.  Most variations sort of peter out into equality or advantage to black.  It is certainly a better try than 7.Kg1 which gives white near zero winning chances.

What if white plays first 5. O-O. It seems to me that white cannot apply traxler with such ease anymore
