It would be weird if white didn't find some winning move in this situation.

(Qg2, Qf1, Qf3, Qe1, d4, Qd1, Qg4 checkmates soon and everything what doesn't lose whole queen also wins, even the rook endgame after 1. Qf2? exf2+! 2. Kxf2!! looks promising, the only losing move is 1. Qd2??)

I appreciate author's sense of humour for publishing this sophisticated puzzle.

It was not made to be very serius :)

still I think mine is the shortest? And why would 1. Qf2? exf2+! 2. Kxf2!! recive two !!? Anything else would get a ??

Well, if you can post that """""puzzle""""", mine makes sense too...

except mine mates after 3 moves while yours draw after 15.

After 1. d4 Rb7!, White needs 3 more moves to mate.

After 1. Qf3!, White needs only 2 more moves to mate.

no Qb5 is one, Qe8 is two. 

which moves are you thinking of?

In your puzzle, your line starts 1 d4 g6. 1...g6 is not the best defence.

Black should play 1...Rb7! to prevent 2. Qb5. (Yes, it loses a rook, but that's not the point - it delays mate by an extra move.)

Whereas 1. Qf3 (in place of 1. d4) forces mate in 2 more moves against any defence.

So 1. d4 is not the shortest mate.

You may be good at puzzles (!!!) but you lack the ability to recognize irony in chess puzzles.

well its from a real game so thats why the moves seam somewhat odd. And to be honest there was a white bishop on f3 but I forgot to put it on and did not see it before after. Sorry for causing you truble.
