11... Ke8
Now, I can play out 12.Qf3.

 
12. Qf3
Black is on his way to losing valley.He can only protect against two out of three intentions I have for the Queen. the intentions are Qxb7 (if possible), Qxf7, and Qd5 (perhaps the least smartest move).

I ignore this Knight because my win is much faster.

13. Qxf7+
I continue with what Black wasn't protecting.

 
13... Kd8
Black's King is a broken playground.

 
14. Qxg7
What you just witnessed is a setup for potential checkmate.

? I expected that, but for the first time in all of my games, this move doesn't make my position weaken at all.

15. Kd2
Now, Black is lost undoubtfully and will have to give up his Knight to play the gloomy 15...Bd7, his only best move.

 
15... Bf5
Instead, he wants to protect the Knight and lose in one move.

 
16. Qf8#
I hope you took note of how much better 15...Bd7 was compared to 15...Bf5. In fact, I believe that ...Bd7 could have been played earlier. Black's problems arose by his option of letting his Queen get pinned and lost to protect a less valuable piece. Had Black play more carefully and watched out for my intentions and plans, he could have had a good game.
