I think it's worth seeing the earlier part of the combination, which can't be a puzzle here since it doesn't force mate:

1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Bb5 Nd4 6.0-0 a6 7.Bd3 d6 8.Nxd4 cxd4 9.Ne2 Nf6 10.c3 dxc3 11.bxc3 0-0 12.Bc2 Qc7 13.d4 Bd7 14.Rf3 Bc6 15.Ng3 e6 16.Ba3 Rfd8 17.Qe1 b5 18.h3 Nd7 19.Rf2 Nb6 20.Rd1 Nc4 21.Bc1 f5 22.d5 exd5 23.exf5 Re8 24.Re2 Rxe2 25.Qxe2 Re8 26.Qd3 Qa7+ 27.Kh2 Ne3 28.fxg6 Nxd1 29.gxh7+ Kh8 30.Qxd1 Bxc3 31.Nf5 Re1

32.Qxe1! Bxe1 33.Bb2+ Kxh7?

Black could play on with 33...d4. Now we're at the puzzle position.
