The Traxler Gambit 5.Nxf7

12. g3 Qh4f6 13. Kf2e1 Qf6f3
The f3 weakness is used, hitting the Rook, which needs to move.
14. Rh1f1
Alternatively, there was 14.cxd4 but the continuation is pretty much the same.
14... Qf3e4 15. Ke1f2
This appeared 4 times on RHP before this game.
15... O-O-O 16. Nh8f7 Rd8f8 17. Kf2g1
This appeared 2 times on RHP before this game, the next move however...
17... Bg4h3
Bh3 is a site novelty, with the obvious (yet strong) threat of mate in 1.... the other move played here had been Nf3+
18. Nf7d6
Only move (18.Rf2 leads to 18...Qe1+ 19.Rf1 Nf3+ 20.Kh1 Bxf1 and mate soon follows)
18... cxd6 19. Rf1xf8 Nd7xf8 20. Qa4e8
Bf1 was the other option
20... Kc8c7 21. Qe8f7 Nf8d7 22. Qf7f2 Nd4f3 23. Kg1h1 Nd7f6
The King cannot move and White does not have enough piece activity to defend what's coming.
24. d3 Nf6g4
Mate in 1 is threatened
25. Qf2d2 Nf3xd2 26. dxe4 Nd2f3
White has realised what is coming, however sportingly chooses to play the ending out.
