This position arose in an actual correspondence game from the 1960s between Sagorowski and Rosenberg. White actually played the pawn promotion right away but this way was faster: 1.g3+ There’s a long mate starting with 1.d8Q Qf4+ 2.Qxf4+ gxf4 3.Rxh7+ Kg4 4.Rxh8 1...Kg4 2.d8Q Rxd8 3.Qe6+ Kf3 4.Qe4+ Kxf2 5.Qg2#
