alternative solution?

I like 3...Nf5+ better. As far as I can tell, it leads to forced checkmate as well. Have no chess software with me, so if someone can check this...

A.
4. exf5 Rhe8+ 5.Kf4 Qg5+ 6. Kxf3 Qe3+ 7.Kg2 (or Kg1) Rg8+ 8.Kh1 Rg1+ 9.Rxg1 Qxf3+ 10.Rg2 Rd1#

B.
4. Kf4 Qg5+ 5.Kxf3 Qe3+
B1. 6.Kg4 Rhg8+
B1.1 7. Kh5 Qg5#
B1.2 7. Kxf5 Qg5+ 8.Ke6 Qe5+ 9.Kf7 Rdf8#
B2. 6.Kg2 Rhg8+ 7. Kh1 Rg1+ 8.Rxg1 Qf3+ 9.Rg2 Rxd1#

I did first Nf5 as well, but it won't work. 1830 rating seems a bit low for this one.

1833 for me , there are many options that fail maybe that is why it is so high
