Crazy, yes, but not a real challenge.

1.Qxf6 doesn't give, though 😛

But it is the right first move.

You're right, Qxf6 isn't a check.

Are all those interested as good as you? If so, I'm not sure if I have any real challenges. I might check this. For now, it will stay crazy.

White is slightly better (or what was the question?).

I'm confident that this is another "White to mate in 4 moves" as the title indicates. You knew that, right?

Yes, sorry for the bad joke. This one is actually more of a challenge than the previous one.
