Might want to edit the puzzle then. Queen on f4 instead of f5 would work.

no, usually one person wins a game because their oppenent makes a mistake

So I'm looking at your puzzle, assuming that I have to mate Black (although you haven't actually stated the objective). I see 2.Re8+, but see that it fails to mate after 2...Qc8. How am I supposed to guess the move when it doesn't work against correct defence?
