I guess that it is mate in at most 11 moves.

I have no idea what is the right move but I guess that it is not going to be
easy to prove that I am wrong.

Junior5.9 likes Qexe6+ more and the score at iteration 11 is +3.61 for white.
Chessmaster6000(ss=10) suffered from an horrible branching factor at depth 6
and needed almost 2 hours to get a score.

The score at depth 6 is +10.60 so there is more evidence that Qbxd8+ is winning.
If it does not find a better move at this iteration I am going to stop it.
