I have seen various comments on the general ideas of it in several threads but would love to know the main line of it, so as to blow apart lower rated players ( who play white) who are quite satisfied with there position after 4Ng5 Bc5 5Nxf7 Bxf2+. i did use it once successfully in this game Game 4402055 I did look quite smooth I suppose but it was mostly guesswork.

By your game it seems like you have guessed pretty well. But to know a lot of ideas in it see ih8sens games in it. Specially the one against madmac. There was a thread on that game too with a lot of ideas discussed.

Let all us forget that. 😛
The line may have some joke value but it certainly seems to be inferior to d5

He may not be an expert in it.....but ih8sens is by far the guy who plays it the most here.

The way his rating is going i know i'll be at the bookstore and see his "Traxler" book soon.

Why are you still here? Are you trying for a 3(a) ban to complement your 3(b)?

Oh and I can just imagine the title of the book already: "A Banned C Level Cheater's Insights into the Traxler". That should really fly off the shelves. Maybe you should contact Gambit and see about getting an advance on the manuscript.

I thought this wasn't "personal" for you.

You have definitely taken it upon yourself to do the opposite of what you're saying.

It's a shame; I had a different impression of you when I was reading your "How to Improve" thread.

If you had any observation skills you would realize that grater joined 2 years ago...so he is probably not ih8sens.


EDIT: I have no clue if he cheated or not but now you are just being mean ðŸ˜
