No boasting here, after f3+ all that black has to calculate is that the King has to take and cannot go back. then there is a check with N which covers a lot of squares with another Queen check if the King moves in a certain area. All other areas there are a N check and really you don't have to calculate. It just looks like for a mere pawn you are getting unbeleivable compensation and the King has only FORCED moves. While black does not have to calculate every mating line, he can surely calculate that white will lose a lot of material if not get immediately mated.
