Traxler Counterattack

Instead of defending with 4...d5 against 4.Ng5, Black plays the audacious 4...Bc5, ignoring the threat to f7 and counter-threatening f2. This bold counterattack leads to incredibly sharp positions where both kings are in danger. Theory is dense and one misstep can be fatal for either side.
