We're returning to Nunn and Cozens' The King Hunt today and another example of a king chop from a player not using the opening that bears their name.
It's Matschego-Falkbeer, Vienna 1853. Same format as on Friday - try to work out the mate from the diagram. Scroll down for an easier version or if you just want to enjoy playing through the game.

You often see these nineteenth-century games where somebody laucnhes themselves into some magnificent combination ending with the king halfway across the board in a mating net formed by the other side's last two or three pieces.
I find myself wondering how typical these were and how often the attacks proved to be entirely speculative, woefully unsound and ended with the resignation of the sacrificing party a few moves after the combination began...
