If black to move, it's Q X R. White responds B x Q and then Black moves R-B8 mate. If white responds Q-K1, the Black's Q x Q is still mate.
Zanti had a bad habit of playing hard core chess for 30 years, OTB in High School and college, then I went into correspondence chess before Computers ruined that. Now, anyone can buy Chessmaster or Fritz and play grandmaster stregnth at home.

8. My chess is a bit rusty, but |
|
in chess problems, I believe it is standard that white is to move, in which case, I take the black Q with the white Q and unless I'm a dull wood pusher, I don't see the mate for black.

10. It is standard, but black moves first here |
|
I should have made that clear. It isn't my puzzle, I've no idea why they set it up that way.

11. Have You Played The Phone Messages? |

Kerry's call for people to leave messages on his toll-free line in support of his Kids First bill has yielded very moving results: http://www.johnkerry.com/listenAfter playing the first three excerpts, I couldn't stop until I had heard all of them! http://www.cafepress.com/hasnomandate

He's two for two on Gonzales and Rice...
Isn't there enough acrimony in the world without picking fights that aren't there...
We used to have a name for those folks in high school...

You know, you might just catch on to what's happening in plain sight if you keep your eyes and ears open.
