how about 1.Qc5+ Kg8 2.gh+! Kh8!! (otherwise Qh5-g5-g7# ) 3.Be7!
A. 3...Nb6! 4.Qxb6 Qa8 5.Qb3 Qc6+ 6.Kxf7 black has no checks so mate is inevitable
B. 3...Nc7 4.Qxc7 Qa8 i'm having trouble with this line
C. 3...Qa5 4.Qc8+ Kxh7 5.Qh3+ Kg8 6.Qg3+ any 7.Qg7#
D. 3...a5 4.Qg5 Qc6+ 5.Kxf7 Qc4+ 6.Kf8 Qc8+ 7.Bd8 black has no more checks
i'm pretty sure i'm right but line B has me worried.

Alright i'll give you a hint: the first move is Qc8, and white's next move leads to a mate in eleven. For some reason a computer wont pick it up, but once given the key move you can watch the evaluation drop from +10 to -M11 😛
On the off chance someone does get the answer, please don't post it till everyone has guessed.

Okay, if you're giving us white's Qc8, what is black's response? I ask because I came up with Qc8, and I want to see what black's wiggle move is.
