if black takes b2, white Q f5 forces g6 then Qd7 is mate.

Excellent spot , still agree with the guys there are flaws, in the way the exercise is carried out but must admit Black is going to lose , cannot find a way out

I was kidding when I made that post. 3....Qxd8 is the right move. It loses the Black Queen but allows the game to continue longer than the alternatives. Black is lost eventually.

High on Xmas Spirit no doubt ! lol

As was i (still lol), I think the point i was getting @ or have noticed , is that i have seen m8 quicker ! than the computers continuation, flaws so to speak , the problem today is (Now being more awake lol ), that i am agreeing with the computer ! , playing it out without mistakes white wins
