An interesting "sub-puzzle" is what was Black's Last Move?
Assuming that Black does not normally miss one move mates, then there can only be one possible last move!
iblunderedmyqueen
the queen will not take the bishop. or it black will be dumb... instead it will move one of its kingside pawns so you have only material advantage

I'd love to see what blacks last move was, cuz i dont know how it got its knight, bishop and queen in that position without being able to get checkmate before white.
