it's great how even with two queens, black has no opportunity to check white

I agree. It isn't too hard, but it is fantastic.

Perhaps kingdawar can give us the original study since jakey101 is no longer with us.

Excellent endgame study.

I know the edge will have been taken off having already seen the ending, but I've posted the puzzle from a few more moves out here:

I have a feeling the outcome came as a shock to Black.

Announce to all, full info about this gorgeous puzzle, very soon!

It called my attention, after read the introduction of jakey101. Because, at first sight it's just like kidding: checkmate is obvious in two moves!

The fact is how this position arose.

Update: Thanks kingdawar, you did it, in your recent post, I recall the link:

i honestly don't know how black never saw this coming! i would always be very wary with my that deep into enemy territory surrounded by pawns. black got cocky with two queens.
