On this one, this is the mate I come up with as shortest:
1.Qc8+ Kh7 2.Qf8 Ra1+ 3.Kg2 Ra2+ 4.Kf1 Ra1+ 5.Ke2 Ra2+ 6.Kd3 Ra3+
[6...Rd2+ 7.Kxd2 Bf4+ 8.Kd3 Bh6 9.Qxf7+ Kh8 10.Qxg6 Bf8 11.f7 Bg7
12.Qxh5+ Bh6 13.Qxh6#]
7.Kc4 Ra4+
[7...Rc3+ 8.Kd5 Rd3+ 9.Ke4 Re3+ 10.Kxe3 Ba7+ 11.Ke2 Bd4 12.Qg7#]
8.Kb5 Rb4+ 9.Kc6 Rc4+ 10.Kd5 Rc5+ 11.Kxc5 Ba7+ 12.Kd5 Bd4 13.Qg7#
Still may not be shortest, but it's the best I can do.
