This puzzle is taken from the game Plakhetka-Zinn, presented as lecture material at the Chess-Live site.
The game continued: 1.Qh5 Nf6 (1... gxh5 2.Rg3+ Kh8 3.Nxf7#) 2.Ng4 Nxh5 3.Nh6#.
Note that if instead, Black plays 2... gxh5, various beautiful mates also result: 3.Nxf6+ Kg7 4.Ne8+ Kh6 (4... Kg6 5.Rg3+ Kf5 6.Rg5+ Ke4 7.Nf6#) 5.Bg7+ Kg6 6.Rg3+ Kf5 7.Rg5+ Ke4 8.Nc3#.
Three beautiful mates from one position!
