White to Play

Once, I taught this to a student on my chess team only minutes before he was to play against another school, and, to our surprise and delight, his opponent played right into it. My student just reeled off the moves. The foe didn’t even have time to finish filling out his scoresheet. It ends with 10.Re8+ Kd7 11.Qg4+ Kc6 12.Bd5+ Kxd5 13.Qe4+ Kc5 14.Be3+ Kb5 15.a4+ Ka6 16.Qc4+ b5 17.Qxb5#
