White to Play

Samisch won this blindfold game from Schlosser in 1921. How would you continue the attack after move 10? The game started out with Black demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge of openings: 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 exf4? 4.e5 Qe7 5.Qe2 Ng8 6.d4 Nc6 7.Nf3 g5 8.Nd5 Qd8 9.Nf6+ Ke7 10.d5 Nb8 and now how do you as White come up with the mating attack here? See if you can work it out all the way to mate.


The golden rule is to force the king away from his army of defenders. 11.d6+ cxd6 12.Nd5+ Ke6 13.exd6+ Kxd6 13...Kxd5 14.Qe5+ Kc6 15.Nd4+ Kb6 16.Qb5# 14.Qe5+ Kc6 15.Nd4+ Kc5 16.b4#
