God says: If black plays Qc5?, it is mate in 21. If black plays Qb5?, it is mate in 12. If black plays Qc7? or Qe8?, it is mate in 11. If black plays Qa8?, Qb6?, Qb7?, Qd5? or Qe6?, it is mate in 10. All other black moves lead to a draw, assuming optimal play on both sides. In practice, it is easy for black to avoid the pitfalls and get the draw. Have you tried this position on Rybka beta?
