1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 


4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6


7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qe3 N8e7 


10.O-O Rf8 11.f4 Nc6 12.d4 Bd7 13.f5 Nge7 


Black's pieces huddle around his King, providing protection. Suddenly, his Rook pawns undo all the work. 

14.Nc3 h6 15.Qf3 a6 

16.Qh5+ Rf7 17.f6 g6 18.Qxh6 Ng8 19.Qh8 Kf8 20.Bh6+ Black resigned

Checkmate is coming.
