After I moved Qxc7, I was sure this was a mistake, leaving h1 vulnerable to the double coverage on the diagonal, but I ended up mating 2 moves later. What would his correct move been to prevent the mate, and did I make the correct move?

I would have, but I like Larsen's opening, and it ended quicker then I expected.
