Quit griping. It helps me find a nice place to start!

Might have been slightly more challenging if it was a rook on g5 instead of a queen. Or at least set it up where black doesn't have a spoiler check available, so you don't reduce white's possibilities to just 3 checking moves.

A very nice variation...

of the smothered checkmate.

This Queen...

...gives up her life to distract one Bishop for one moment, but it wins the game!
