Qd3 isn't the only way to win.  b4 is more than good enough and is what
Crafty likes...

This was the first move I considered as a human, followed by Qd3 to force
the trade of queens.  Either should be enough.  I posed this to an IM and he
suggested b4 himself.  When I mentioned Qd3 he aaid "that's ok too but it
causes an unnecessary pawn weakness.
