What a bullshit puzzle

I would take down the queen instead of the Rook if i where blackcomplete and utterly dumb move

The move is not so dumb, because if QxQ then a mate is coming up when the rook moves to b8.

So i overlooked that

I would never sacrifice the queen like that i would move pawn d7 to d6 so the king has an escape route

Black doesn't have any pawns on the d file. If you meant any of the pawns in front of Black's King, then he loses his Rook after Qd8+. Instead of creating an escape square, a better move would be Rc8.

But all of this is irrelevant. The point of the puzzle is to make the best move as White.
