Queen H1 to F1?

Edit: I’m still an idiot.
- Pg2
  
  Edit: Apparently I'm being downvoted by somebody who doesn't understand white starts on row 1
  
  Qd3 Pg3 Qf5
  
  Qd3 Bg3 I think, followed by promotion
  
  I think the definitive solution was already found further down the thread, but I think this could still work
  Qd3 Bg3 Nf4 Kh4 ... at that point it becomes a sloppy chase but White takes an indomitable lead, taking B and a pawn easily
  
  Bg3 is a check, followed by black promoting their pawn to queen
  
  Oops, you're right. I went kingblind
- That's what I would have thought, leaves the King nowhere to go and there's nothing to block/capture the Queen.
  
  Black is moving down, Pg2
  
  Doh! My bad, 40+ years since I played.
  
  I'll shut up now 🤐
  
  Pawn to G2?
