Excellent Teaching Example !
Good for Knight Moves demonstration. Knight moves are challenging to anticipate. But some players can do it rather effortlessly.

1. Nb6+...Kd6
2. Nc8+...Kd5
3. Re5+...B×e5 (R was in the way!)
4. Ne7+...Kd6
5. Nf5+ (covers d4)...Kd5
6. e4#

This Knight gave Black the run-around!

(Actually, R was traded for the B filling e5 so K can't escape there.)

Mistake!
Re5+ was on the first move, to prevent 1...Ke5.
