Rather accomadating play from the black side. Must have been that eternal loser 'NN'.

I wouldn't call it a puzzle, and the opening with 2.Qh5 is awful (no offense).
You put yourself in a position where you are dependant of your opponent's blunders, it happened to work out.
I would recommend it to nobody and I wouldn't try it too often either.
many moves from both sides could use reconsidering

here's something else to consider...your opponent may thwart that attack from the very start.

well i made it up and if the opponent was dumb enough to fall for that trick, he is really dumb.

Not sound at all...black has about 10 different replies from the ones in the puzzle.  I would not try this ever.

 

BTW, it has been tried against me (I was playing black) and I was able to get a decisive advantage since I got threats on the white queen with development.

Just my $0.02

seriously your comment on his post is just as bad as the puzzle! It only gets rid of the slight advantage that white has in the begenning... So unless your rank is at a master level quit giving opinionated adivce!

So why post it as a puzzle, and have us guess at random moves?

Yeah, I am getting annoyed at posts which contain a series of completely unforced moves presented as a puzzle. 

On move 1, black could play c5 for crying out loud.

Therefore the only way to "play the puzzle" is to "cheat" by hiting show solution.

Well, now it is a real puzzle, but it is still flawed.

 

1...Qxd3 is not forced. 1.Bd3+ is mate in four:

1.Bd3+ b5  2.Bxb5+ Kb6  3.Qf2+ Qe3/d4  4.Qxe3/d4#

 

Clearly the fastest forced mate is 1.Qf1+:

1.Qf1+ Qe2/d3/c4  2.Qxe2/d3/c4+ b5  3.Qxb5#
