Beautiful Rook sacrifice!!

Love the rook sacrifice. Didnt expect that after the rook takes, there would be a forced checkmate whatever you do. At first i was thinking that after Qh7 then the attack is over. But Rf3 seals the game! Bf6 would lead to Qf7#. Moving the fpawn will lead to what would happen in the game.

Well another option black could do is he could not take the rook and just take on b2 and he threatens the rook on a3, and if white threatens the bishop with Rb3 or Ra2, black could just take the rook on h7 then white is with a clear advantage having losing material. But then again, its a blitz game and its hard to see the forced checkmate in a blitz time control if i were black. Good game sir :D
