White to move. How should White proceed?

1.Qd8+ Kf7 2.Qe7+ Kg8 3.Qe8+! 1-0
1. Qd8+ Kf7 2. Qd7 + Kg8 3 Qe8+ Bf8 4. Qxf8#
1.Qd8+,Kf7 2. Qe7+,Kg8 3. Qe8+ and mate follows
37. Qd8+ Kf7 38. Qe7+
Kg8 39. Qe8+ Bf8 40. Qxf8# 1-0
QD8+
1.Qd8+ kf7+ 2. Qe8+ Bf8 3. Qxf8+
It looks like Qxf8#, preceded by Qd8+, Qe7+, and Qe8+. Phil

1)Qd8+,Kf7
2)Qe7+,Kg8
3)Qe8+,Bf8
4)Qf8++
1.Qd8+ Kf7 2.Qe7+ Kg8 3.Qe8+ Bf8 4.Qxf8#
Um…how does Qe8 not winÉÉ This is a little too simple
Heloo
1. Qd8+, Kf7 ( if Bf8 2. Qxf8# )
2. Qe7+, Rg8
3. Qe6+, Bf8
4. Qxj8#
Greetings from Spain
This looks pretty easy (much easier than that damned Loyd puzzle yesterday).
1. Qd8 Kf7 (Bf8 2. Qf8#)
2. Qe7 Kg8 (only move)
3. Qe8 Bf8
4. Qf8#
Or is this a mate in 3 I just don’t see again?
Qd8 wins. Am I missing something?
Can’t find a win but
Qc8 followed by Qf8, Qe7 and Qg5 perpetual to escape with a draw.
Tommy K. says:
1.Qd8+ Kf7 (if Bf8 then 2.Qxf8#)
2.Qe7+ Kg8 (only move)
3.Qe8+ Bf8 (only move)
4.Qxf8#
