Chess puzzle

I recently 'liked' the facebook page, Chess Club Live.

Today I got the following puzzle:  White is going to win after 5 moves, but he sacrifices series pieces.
Just have a look:


For the beginners, following the previous post, you have to say which Knight moves to c4, because the Knight on e5 can also move to that spot.
1) Ndc4      dxc4 (pawn takes the Knight)
2) Qxg6      hxg6 (pawn takes the Queen!)
3) Nxg6      fxg6 (pawn takes the Knight)
4) Bc4+      Kf8
5) Rh8#

WOW!! Brilliant play by White.

The whole game can be seen on the chess-king.com website.  Click here to go to that website.
Also note on that website, is that this game was played in 1901, in Antwerp!

:-)
