Here’s how I spent hours making this puzzle from a game I found.

1... Qh4!!, a magnificent sacrifice of a queen, white is forced to take on h4 (otherwise being mated on f4) with 2. Kxh4 and then the beautiful follow-up with the pawns marching in with 2... g5+! and finally 3... f4#.
Now you may be wondering where I brought this queen sacrifice puzzle from...
I made it.
The original game
https://lichess.org/tta93fwe#11
11...Ng4+ 12. hxg4 Qh4#, the sequence of moves I was pondering on for minutes in the analysis board while the game was going on. Since the game was still going on, I couldn’t use Stockfish to check my moves, so I just kept on analyzing different lines. Eventually I found this sequence: 11... Ng4+ 12. Kg3 (this was the best move as I checked on SF) 12... Qh4??!! (the half brilliant half blunder) 13. Kxh4 g5+ 14.fxg5 hxg5+ 15. Kxg5??, a blunder of a draw while up a queen according to Stockfish, and then 15... Be7+ (Top SF move) 16. Kf4 Bd6+ 17. Kg5, again 17... Be7+ 18. Kf4 Bd6+ 19. Kg5 and finally a draw by repetition. By the way, on 15... Be7+ if white plays 16. Kg6, white would’ve blundered mate in 2.
And after a lot of studies, analyzing and board editing I made this puzzle which I am very proud of.
