Hello Brandt,

This is interesting, but Black moves first.  I see Edward already explained 
where that is stated.  Sorry for any confusion.

You still have time to try using Black moving first.  The objective is not 
necessarily a mate in the WAC problems often just a tactical advantage.

Hi, here is 2 atempts of mine, neither much good. Both needlessly long, I think.

1. Qd7+ Qb7 
2. Qxa4 Qh7+ 
3. e4 Qxh5 
4. Qd7+ Kb6 
5. Qd8+ Ka7 
6. Qe7+ Kb6

12. Kf5 Qf3+ 
13. Ke5 Qc3+ 
14. Ke6 Qb3+ 
15. Kf5 Qf3+ 
16. Ke5 Qc3+ 
17. Kf5 Qf3+ 
18. Ke5 1/2-1/2

I whent threw twice, once to make it as short as I can, and a second time to 
play for a win on either side. I am known for stretching my games out though, 
so no good on either atempt.

Second go threw I got it in 49. Didn't write out my thaught process, am not 
good with that kinda thing. I just do.
