Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Traxler Counter-Attack!
Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Traxler Counter-Attack!
This chess opening is for you who are trying to find an aggressive response against the Fried Liver Attack! The Fried Liver Attack is one of the most dangerous chess openings for white against e5, but it is hard for black to avoid it. If black plays Bc5 instead of Nf6, we run into the Evan's Gambit! Following the move bishop to c4, it may appear as if black is going to be attacked no matter what. However, what if we play the Fried Liver Attack against the Fried Liver Attack? This may sound crazy, but the Traxler Counter-Attack does just that, stopping white's attack, and then putting the attack on them. The Traxler-Counter Attack starts with the following moves.
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nf6 (Italian Game/Giuoco Piano)
4. Ng5 Bc5 (Fried Liver Attack and Traxler Counter-Attack!
The Traxler Counter-Attack is a great chess opening as it takes the Fried Liver Attack player by surprise and also contains many chess opening traps for black. The Traxler is good with chess opening theory, chess opening principles, chess opening ideas, chess opening moves, chess opening tricks, chess opening traps, and chess opening strategy. The Traxler Counter-Attack has many tricks and traps that can help you win games fast. It can also help you learn how to play good chess and improve at chess quickly. This is why I recommend this chess opening to beginner chess players and intermediate chess players in particular. The Traxler Counter-Attack is the Fried Liver Attack player's nightmare! They want to play attacking chess, not defensive! The Traxler looks to take the opponent out of preparation and comfort, and due to the intense chess opening theory, can be difficult to navigate. That is why we made this chess opening video, so that you could be prepared for all of the lines, variations, and moves that come your way. The Traxler Counter-Attack is a top tier chess opening for black against e4. It's potential continues to be discovered, and the list of chess opening trap is so long it is hard to keep track of. The chess opening for black against e4ho can simply help show how to be good at chess. We hope that you enjoy learning how to play the Traxler Counter-Attack!

This is the most thorough treatment of the Traxler that I've seen yet.

Thanks Larry! I am glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it!
I love the traxler. Talented newer players love to go for the fried liver and fall into it all the time.

That's facts Josh! A very dangerous chess opening that even many Fried Liver Attack players don't often prepare for.

This is stronger than the fried liver and the lolli attack but it is burdened by the forced draw line

I could not agree more. It just depends on who you are playing I suppose. If you're in a tournament against someone rated much lower, the Traxler might not be the best because they might know the draw line. The decision then is up to the player. However, against someone higher, there's really nothing to lose.
Excellent. The best exposition of various variations of Traxler. Thanq.

i dont recommend the traxler because someone can study the whole computer line but against a none master human it will work
5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.Bc4! is more or less a refutation. Nothing that Black has tried seems to work against this (6.Bb3 and 6.Bd5 are more common but less clear).
Hey Solomon, great video! Could you do a video on the Portuguese Gambit? Keep up the good work!

I personally would love to play this but I don't like to play e5 I find this is the only opening I could beat a titled player with because it is the strongest counter attack

Totally makes sense. I don't like playing e5 either, only this line. The Elephant Gambit can be fun at times but not super reliable against top tier competition.

You definitely wouldn’t be able to beat a titles player with this. They would just play Bxf7 and Bb3. You might be able to defeat a player of similar strength with this maybe
Man !!…King doesn’t take bishop.instead e2.? Did I miss the line ?
