Avoid Such Mistakes

I only publish games of young players but I am publishing one of my games played on playchess.com against a fairly good player so that children can avoid mistake made by my opponent. Game started with 1.e4 c6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7 5.Bc4 Ngf6 6.Neg5 e6 7.Qe2 . Look at the position after white's 7th move.White's knight is attacking f7 and Bc4 and Qe2 are attacking e6. Black should shut-out Bc4 by Nd5. Instead he played a very natural developing move 7...Be7 after which white simply finishes him off.

8.Nxf7 Kxf7 9.Qxe6 Kg6 10.Nh5 Kh6 11.d4+ g5 12.Nf5 Kg6 13.Qf7 Kxf5 14.Bd3+ Kg4 15.h3+ Kh4 16.g3 #
Question There are two better ways to finish game instead of 10.Nh5. Can you find them ?

    Hi!

    I think this is the right answer:

    Qf7+ and d4+.

    I believe the position is actually after BLACK'S 7th move. And thanks for the lesson!
