It’s hard to believe this came from a Master game, truthfully, it’s such a known mating pattern. 1 Qxh7+ Kxh7 (if …Kf8 then either 2 Qh8 or 2 Qg7 is mate); 2 Rh3+ Kg8; 3 Rh8 mate.
There’s no need to waste time with 1. Rh3. In fact, it’s counterproductive because Black defends with 1. … h4. White’s g pawn is pinned, so 2. gxh6(e.p.) loses.
1. Qh7:+
f5 is an interesting sac
f5 is an interesting sac
This happens in real games?
1. Qxh7+ Kxh7 (if Kf8, Qh8#)
2. Rh3+ Kg8
3. Rh8#

But a simple direct attack gets mate in 3:
1. Qxh7+ Kxh7 (Kf8,Qh8#)
2. Rh3+ Kg1
3. Rh8#
1. Qxh7+ Kxh7
2. Rh3+ Kg8
3. Rh8++
1. Qxh7+ Kxh7
2. Rh3+ Kg8
3. Rh8#

It is given in Capablanca “Principles of the game of chess”, although I think the diagram is different.
