 | | sleepyirv: Coincidentally, I was looking through the Traxler line earlier to use for blitz. I'm not sure I'm bloodthirsty enough. Quite a game by Traxler and nice pun! |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: I'm going to miss the Traxler/Wilkes-Barre. At least it took over a century to find the refutation. |
|
| Aug-16-09 | | Ghizza: Never seen a King *tortured* this way :-) |
|
| Aug-16-09 | | sileps: wow, this is a really nice mating combination |

Aug-16-09
| | RandomVisitor: The move 6.Ke2 is apparently unplayable in this line, white might try 6.Ke2 Nd4 <7.Kf1> Qe7 8.Nxh8 d5 9.Be2 Bh4 10.d3 (10.Bh5+ g6) Qf8 and white is lost. |

|
| Aug-16-09 | | LIFE Master AJ: Ouch! (Hit me again, Sam.) |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | TheBish: Marking this for future reference. |
|
Aug-17-09
| | RandomVisitor: The line 6.Ke2 Nd4 7.<Kxf2> Ne4+ 8.Kg1 Qh4 also appears to win for black, with 9.h3 possibly best and scoring -1.64/22. |
|

 | | kevin86: A Rare game, ideeed-playing eight moves and then mating in NINE!! |
|
| Aug-17-09 | | LIFE Master AJ: <Kevin86> Yes, I think Chernev would have loved this one. |
|
| Dec-21-09 | | SirChrislov: After 14...Bd3+, I'd walk out of the room with my shirt pulled over my face. |
|
| Feb-27-10 | | echector: Why not kxf2? |
|
| Mar-29-10 | | Wrong: why me? |
|
| Aug-07-10 | | shishio71: WOW. Such a mating attack could rival the Polish immortal in beauty! |
|
| Nov-18-10 | | xmachine: @ echector; it can be played, but it allows Black to get a fierce attack on the White king (usually starting with Nxe4+) anyway... beautiful! |
|

 | | sevenseaman: < SirChrislov> yes, ...14. Bd3 is an amazingly measured move that must have left many a mouth agape. It takes time to sink in. I do not believe it if any of the fancy machines gave it. No wonder human brain was good enough to produce computers that just might replace it adequately one day. |
|
| Apr-04-11 | | Lil Swine: traxler is like the Black Swan, his combinations are so brutal and evil, yet there is much beuty to his graceful sacs. |
|
| Feb-07-12 | | soberknight: Cunning and stunning. |
|
| Aug-09-12 | | master of defence: Why not 8.Nxd8 bxc4+ 9.Kxc4? |
