Mate in 4 - nice!

ok, I had a different variation I think would work
1. Qd6+ Ka8
2. Nc7+ Kb8
then I was thinking
3. Na6+ (double check from knight and queen)
if Kc8, 4. Qc7#
if Ka8, 4. Qb8# Rxb8 Nc7#
to deliver smothered mate...I guess best play is one extra move though, it would be could if these tactics would let you play out less than best play against the computer

There's mate in 3: Qd6, Qb8 & Nc7.

The smothered mate works too, but it takes 5 moves.
The extra move is worth it! Just to show off
