Good game I think,though it petered out into a draw.

toet.
It's for that kind of game that i love to play the traxler (NOT the wilkes-barre ...are you really Belgian? 😛 )
The problem is : how do you convince your opponent not to play Bxf7+ followed by Bb3, d3, Be3, 00 ...
With a simple and solid plus...almost a refutation.
If you have the answer please tell me, i'm even thikning of giving it up 😞
I tried the weird Qf8 after Bb3 OTB but apart from the surprise value i'm not sure it's worth much...

That was my first Traxler game ever.Agreed Traxler is a more appropriate name,the guy invented it after all.Right?
Besides prayer I have no antidote to Bxf7.
Yes I'm really Belgian.
