Note that White was actually Aron Nimzowitsch's father, and that Black was not Gustav Neumann, who died in 1881. But I guess that doesn't matter if all you care about is a pretty mate, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Easy to Mate

from the given position (and I particularly like mating with pawns for some reason) but the problem can be getting into such a position. Thanks to phonybenoni for showing how it was done.

Change 0-0 to O-O if you have trouble importing the PGN.
