I have another 1.Qa8 position (very difficult):

[D]3Q4/3p4/P2p4/N2b4/8/4P3/5p1p/5Kbk w - - bm Qa8; id Quick-03;

This is part of a small test suite I created. If you want to take a look:

Results (here you see also the source game infos, and solution moves):

I think these positions haven't been published before in a computer test suite
(except in the latest CSS service, which contains 8 of them are in another small
selection from my previous test suite).

The most entertaining move is probably the last (and easiest) one, from a
computer game:

[D]3B4/1R3p1k/2p4p/2Pp3r/3P4/4Q1K1/6P1/3b1q2 w - - bm Bf6; id Quick-24;

1...Bf6!! This is a stalemate trick... (also threats # in 3).
