Réti–Tartakower 1910 — A Beautiful Mate in 3

Objective: Task goal: deliver checkmate in the fewest possible moves. In this position, there is a mate in 3.

Position and task condition

Black's king is still stuck in the centre while White's pieces are highly active. The position still looks like an opening, but White can finish the game in only three moves. Find the forcing sequence and calculate both possible king escapes.
