You have to be kidding?

Black can't queen, it's really that simple. The new White Queen is on the board
too fast and opposes any attempt by Black to Queen any of it's pawns. They are
all easy targets.

If you can count, you can see the win. I'm shocked how chess ignorant some
posters here are!

This is one of several lines that win easily.
