Checkmate in 13

In this video I am analyzing a brilliant chess miniature played English chess master and writer William Potter where he chooses Danish gambit, and then on move 11 sacrifices his queen! Once Black accepts the queen sacrifice, White checkmates Black king in a very artistic way! A reminiscence of Paul Morphy’s game vs Charles Le Carpentier! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
