"A Horrific Attack!"

Still a Draw! :-)

1.e4 d5 2.d4 ed4

Center game.

3.c3 dc3 4.Bc4 cb2

(Accepted!) Danish Gambit!

5.Bb2 f6 6.Nc3 d6

Better 6...Nf6 7.e5 Bb4+

7.Nge2 Ne7? 8.Qb3! Nec6

7...c6 or 7...Nh6(!) respectively

8...d5 or Ng6 offer tougher resistance.

Now Black is lost:

9.Bf7+ Ke7(!) 10.Bh5 g6

9...Kd7?? 10.Qe6 mate :-)

10...Qd7 merely prolongs the suffering.

11.Nd5+! Kd7 12.Nf6+ Ke7

Slaps right and left...

13.Nd5+ Ke8 14.Bh8: gh5:

The knight repeated the checks on d5 and f6 with new consequences!

15.Nf6+ Ke7 16.Qg8 Nd7?

(16..Be6)

17.Qh7:+ Ke6 18.Nf4+ Ke5

and now the (for Black) horrific knight plays its last trump: Mate in 2 moves!

20.Nd7:+! Kf4: 21.Qf5 mate!

Victor and Victim together ensured that this terrible attack would see the light of the chess world...! :-)
