There is a forced mate in 4
1.Qxb7+! Rxb7
2.Na6+ Ka8
3.Rc8+ Rb8
4.Rxb8# while the other black pieces stand around helplessly.
This position reminds me of a quote by the second world champion Lasker who said
“The losing side has the greater part of his army in positions where they had no bearing whatever upon the questions at issue. They might have been just as well anywhere else but on the board.”
