The game ended with 1.Rxh7+ Kxh7 2.Qh5+ Kg8 3.Rxg6+ Rg7 4.Rh6 Kf8 5.Rh8+ Ke7
6.Qe5+ Kf7 7.Qe8+ Kf6 8.Rh6+ Kf5 9.Qe5+ Kg4 10.Qf4 Mate.

[D]8/pq2r1kp/2R3n1/1p1Q4/3P4/1P3pP1/P7/5K1R w - - 0 1

However, Zukertort could have prolonged the game 7 more moves had he played
5...Rg8.

Can your engine find the Mate in 17?

Beware, this is a tough mate to find.
