No, this features the famous composition by S. Lloyd, "Love Chase," and Dirty_Player is likely familiar with it, or it's quite simple. Everything is correct: Qf1! After that, checkmate in 2 moves.

I've seen it somewhere, but I had to solve it again. By the way, I just checked, and if Black moves first, they cannot avoid checkmate in 3 moves; some of the variations are quite beautiful.
