In 1869, I.O. Howard Taylor published Chess Brilliants, a book containing one hundred games played by chess masters. In the back of the book, he offered some diagrams from his own games. This position is one of the diagrams.
He presents a little information. The game was played at the Philidorian Chess Rooms in early 1862. Five moves have been played. Black, "a stranger"--no name is given--has played 5...f6. Taylor checkmated his opponent in eight moves from this position.
Can you reconstruct the moves that led to this position?
