This is from a game I played the other night otb. The game wasn't annotated, so the board is simplified.

1. ... Qe7 still loses (I think):

 2. Bf5+ Kb8

3. Rd7

 Yes, but it is not mate in three. You claimed to have a mate-in-three puzzle, which means mate in three no matter what black does. 1.Qb4 wins in all variations, but it is not a forced mate in three.

Hmmm... 

 

3...h5 may work.  Don't get me wrong.  I still think Black is hurting, just not quite done for.

Black 1st move should be Pb6 instead of (Queen captures b4) so that Black can avoided being Checkmate for a very very long time.

Nope--2 Ba6+ mates next move.

I think 1... Qf5 is also problematic.  Not saving, but problematic.
