Rc8 threatening Re8+ and protecting against Qd8. Black is handily winning afterward.
1…Qb4+ 2.Qd4 f5+
1 … Qb4+
If 2 Kd3 Rd2#
If 2 Qd4 f5+ winning the Queen
1. … Qg5+ winning
1a Kd6 Rd7++ mate
or
1b Qe5 c4+
2b bxc bxc+
3b Kxc4 Qxe5 with decisive advantage
Well, I don’t see black handily winning. He needs to avoid getting mated.
1 …rc8
2 kf4 qg2 and then if
3 qd6 then
3… qh2 with a skewer.
Black also avoids mate if white tries h6 in these lines.
Hello
1. …. , Qb4+
White have two options
1)
2. Kd3 , Rd2#
and
2)
2. Qd4 , f5+
3. gxf5, gxf5+ winning the queen
(if Kd6, Rd2#)
Greetings from Spain
Qb4+ Qd4 f5+ and white queen is lost.
Qb4+ (if Kd3 then Rb2++
….. Qd4
f5+ gxf
gxf+ (if Kd3 thien still rb2++)
….. Kxf5
qxd4 +-
Qb4 Qd4 f5
1… Qb4
if 2. Kd3, Rd2#
if 2. Qd4, f5 wins the Queen
1…Qb4+
2. Qd4 f5+ wins the Q
1… Qb4+ 2. Qd4 f5+ and white’s queen is toast. Of course, 2. Kd3 Rd2+ is checkmate.
1. …Qb4.
2. Kd3 Rd2 0-1
2. Qd4 f5, white loses queen
Qb4+ wins
1…Qb4+
if 2. Qd4
2…f5+ winning queen
if 2. Kd3 Rd2++
…Qb4+. If Kq3 then Tq2++. If Qq4 then pf5 and black wins.

Force the White Queen to defend the King, then pry away the King from the Queen’s defence.
1..Qb4+
2.Qd4 (2.Kd3 Rd2#) f5+
3.gxf5 gxf5+
4.Kxf5 Qxd4
4.Kf4 Qxd4+
4.Kd3 Rd2#
1….Rc8! seems very good move. If for example 2.Kf4 Re8! -+
Of course 2.h6 Re8+ 3.Kf4 Qxe3+ 4.Kg3 Qe5+ -+
So I believe White must play 2.Qe7!? And Black has the initiative even if for the moment I’ve not seen a clear win (that might existe !!)
1..qb4+ followed by 2..f5+ wins for black
Qb4+
If Kd3, then Rd2++
If Qd4, then f5+ and wins the queen
1…Qb4+ therefore 2.Qd4 is forced then the crushing 2…f5 and it’s just over
Seems like black wins after:
1 .. Qb4+ 2 Qd4 f5+ 3 gxf5 gxf5+ 4 Kxf5 Qxd4
If white ever tries Kd3, then Rd2#.
1. . . . Qb4. If 2. Kd3, Rd2. If 2. Qd4, f5; 3. gxf, gxf wins the Queen.
1…Qb4+ 2. Kd3 Rd2# or 2. Qd4 f5+.
1.-Rc8?? 2.Qe7! and 1-0!
This is easy: Simply 1.-Qb4+ 2.Qd4 (Kd3 Rd2#)f5+ 3.gxf5 3. gxf5+ and Her Majesty is lost.
The situation is dire for Black so we look for forcing moves.
1…Qb5+.
Hah, mate or win queen!
1. … Qb4+! Three continuations:
2. Kd3 Rd2#
2. Qd4 f5 (3. gxf5 gxf5) 4. Kxf5 (or Kf4 loses queen and soon loses more, while
2. Qd4 f5 (3. gxf5 gxf5) 4. Kd3 R(Q)d2#.
The thing to notice for this tactic if the lack of squares of the white king.
If 1… Rc8
2 Kf4, then I think 2…Re8 is still best for Black.
If 3 Ph6, then 3…Qxe3,
4 Kg3, Qe5 stops the threatened mate.
Or if the Rook tries to escape by
2 R-d3, then 2 … Re8+,
3 Kd4 Qf2+
4 Kc3 Rc8+
5 Kb4 Qc5+
6 Ka5 Qc7+
7 Kb4 Pa5+ leads to mate
