Why would black take the rook on D5 with it's queen when it could use the pawn at E6 to take it, leaving the queen in a better position to make a move on the white king?
I see, thanks for the response. I'm not very good at chess, I'm more of a fight to the death kind of person when I play it, I never know when I'm beat until the other person says "checkmate".
This isn't supposed to be completed in one more correct. I see 3 moves as the quickest way with nobody making a mistake!
Yes it is composed of 3 moves by both sides together. :)
The shortest way I see is D1-D5, E4-D5, F2-F6 than black can do whatever they want, F6-G7 checkmate

It leaves you with the same situation with maybe adding a more or two in there. At this point Black would typically surrunder anyways.

You are correct though typically you would take with the pawn.
Or F2-F6, black has to take with knight, then D1-D8, black can play F6-E8 but that gets taken out by D8-E8 mate
