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.
