p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c, lol
Rd7, Qg5 and Qh8+ mate in 3
strong mating technique. I think this is forced and black could do nothing about it.
7.Qh8#

1.Qg5! mates quicker. The longest Black can expect to survive is 1...f6 2.Qxf6+ Kg8 3.Rd8+ Kh7 4.Rh8#. If 1...Ke8, 2.Rd8#, while if 1...f5, then 2.Qf6+ mates as in the 1...f6 variation.
It's a fallacy that checkmate only occurs via a king chase-it's best, in general, to keep the king as confined and exposed as possible on the edge of the board.

I don't know, what if black promotes to a knight?
It'd be more interesting if he chose to promote to king

I don't think you understand what we're dealing with, W7, since "quicker" has nothing to do with real chess. Yitzd is a comet of knowledge, a fulgaration...pure genius. He's not some advertisement for microsoft...
