Black to move. How should Black proceed?

This one is pretty easy. Either that, or I am too drunk to solve this.
1. …..Rc1+
2. Bc1 Rc1+
3. Qc1 Qe2# and if
3. Rd1 Rd1#
How about . . .
1_ … Rc1+
2_ Bxc1 Rxc1+
3_ Qxc1 Qe2+#
Rc1+ Bxc1 Rxc1+ Qxc1 Qe2#

Need slightly harder puzzles! 🙂
1.Rc1+ Bxc1
2.Rxc1+ Qxc1
3.Qe2#
1. … Rc1+
2. Bxc1 Rxc1+
3. Rd1 Rxd1#
or
3. Qxc1 Qe1#
1. Rc1+ Bxc1
2. Rxc1 Qxc1
3. Qe2++
1. Rc1+ Bxc1
2. Rxc1+ Qxc1
3. Qe2++
1. Rc1+ Bxc1
2. Rxc1+ Qxc1
3. Qe2++
Rooks check twice on c1 followed by mate on e2 (queen). Interposing rook on d1 won’t help either because of immediate mate.
Rc1+ Bxc1
Rc1+ Qxc1
Qe2#
Simple and short:
1… Rc1+
2. Bxc1 Rxc1+
3. Qxc1 Qe2 mate.
1. Rc1+, Bxc1
2. Rc1+, Qxc1
3. Qe2 mate

Rc1+ seems instant mate in 2 or three. The white queen must guard against mate.
Rc1!…and after a couple of exchanges on c1 follows mate on e2.
My version
White’s Q is the only defender against mate by Black’s Q on e2. The queen can be deflected by a forced defense against a back rank mate.
1.Rc1+ Bxc1 2.Rxc1+ Qxc1 3.Qe2#.
1. -, Rc1+ and the rest was surely posted by many others. 😉
It is mate in 3 on d1 or e2.
Rc1+
This one was too easy.
