        I have to believe that black must go for the draw since I don’t see any way to mate the white king, nor exchange queens into a won ending. With that in mind, then the draw is a piece of cake:

        1. …..Qg1 (Or Qh1)
        2. Kg1 stalemate.

        1… Qh1+ and draw (stalemate). I cannot find a way to win with black…

        Black cannot win this game. He can at best draw through a stalemate at Qh1+, Kxh1

        1… Qh1+ ! 2. Kh1 #. otherwise the outside passed pawn on the a file coupled with mating threats against black’s king are to much to handle.

        this looks very simple.
        1. … Qh1+
        2. Kxh1 stalemate
        anything else would lead to black being mated within 2 moves. greets, jan

        First I think he should check the King with Qe5+.

        Dear Anonymous at 2:59:00 PM.
        1…Qe5+ is suicidal.
        2 g3+ Qxg3+
        3Qxg3#.
