If you're going where I think you're going, I must admit I've never seen a haven like that in chess before.
The anticipation is killing me.
So I have three possible positions to take in checking you on this turn. I'm going to look closely at each one in terms of how you might evade a check move. I'll be back after I get a new tenants' water running. Might take me some time.

No biggie. Take your time.
You're right, of course. Unless you want to see it concluded, I do offer a draw.Qe8+
not a lot of need for time when there's no choice. . . .
edit: well, there is a choice, actually. . . .????. . . . nope. nothing.
and I think you see the corner, your Ka6 refuge. . . .
looks like this will result in another rocker with draw potential. . . .
You're right, of course. Unless you want to see it concluded, I do offer a draw.

A miraculous draw, from both sides of the board, all orchestrated while one move from checkmate! Good job, babe.Amazing what a loose queen can do in a game just one move from mate.
