Checkmate in 7

The solution appears to be cooked. I played 43. Qc8+ intending 43. .... Qd7 44. Bf5+ (equally winning IMO). Have I missed something?

Hi Doggy, not cooked, but after Qc8+ the checkmate requires one more move, that´s why I wrote "Checkmate in 7" (I have added it in the variations to the game).

But maybe I should stop the problem at the point where the game really ended, that would make more sense?

Ah yes, I stand corrected. Failed to read the instructions. I wasn't thinking beyond winning the Black Queen. Embarassed
