Who wins?
Sort:
Care to elaborate?
1.Qe8+ Kh7 2.Qe4+ Kg8 3.Kg6 (threatening Qd5+) Bf8 4.Qd5+ Kh8 5.Qf7 and black is powerless to stop mate.
1...Bf8 2.Qxf8+ Kh7 3.Qf7+ Kh8 4.Kg6, black is again helpless.
Correct, RosarioVampire!

This diagram would only lead to stalemate! No one would win!

Well, white can't force mate without the queen getting captured so a1 or c1 would give a queen with no protection against it.
A.
I think this basically covers the variations
Is this from Khelnitsky's (sp?) chess test, or chess tactics test... I like his format, with the A. wins. B.loses. C. draws answers... really makes you look at the position realistically instead of, "Oh White has a winning move I've got to find it"
By that postion c1 or a1 are great move. nice try but if you were trying to change my opinion about it you were wrong
Maybe the variation given below changes your opinion Grantchamp?

JG27Pyth's diagram shows pretty clearly that white has forced mate. There are not "great moves" for black if he will be checkmated anyways.
In the position below, it is white's move. Which statement is correct?
A. White has a won game
B. Black wins no matter what white plays
C. It's a draw!
