Ah, good play Iconoclast. I must be tired or something still for not seeing that as well. An interesting puzzle there, vagrantnomad. Looking forward to the next "chilla" as a nice warmup before my next game!

The position is just too dominating for white. Qa4 looks like it leads to a forced mate so I agree, thats probably the move.
