Originally posted by greenpawn34It seems to have found something against both since both are given a fairly substantial plus for white. The difference between the two scores is not huge though but consistent so I guess the Wilkes Barre/Traxler lines appeal to a human but the machines like Nxe4. All the engines then like 5. Bxf7 for white, whereas all prefer Nxf7 after Bc5.
4...Nxe5 leads to a concrete plus.
I wonder what it 'sees' when looking at 4...Bc5.
Whole books have been written about that variation.
Estrin gives 4...Bc5 20 pages and 4...Nxe4 gets literally one sentence.
It's has either found something against the Wilkes Barre/Traxler or
it has not run long enough. What does it like best for White.
5.Bxf7+ or 5,Nxf7 (or neither?).
This is the result of just letting the engines run without doing anything. I'll try a little more interactive jiggery pokery to see if they produce a different result.

Cheers. It's all interesting stuff.
That Traxler is very tactical. I suspect the horison effect is edging towards to
4...Nxe4 or does not no longer exist.
Perhaps the computer needs a Russian Schoolboy.
Not a joke. Play this one out. Imagine tring to solve it OTB.

Basically it's Russia v Tal.
This game has a public health warning. Certificate X.
A fair few of of the Traxler mainlines are like this. (see the game above.)
