        1) …Rd1 +
        2)Bf1 Nb3
        3)Nb3 Ra1
        4)Na1 c1Q

        1…Nb3 appears strong for Black.

        Maybe you should change the move order since after 3)…Nb3 in your line you must consider 4.a7!

        Then I propose, 1…Nb3! 2.Nxb3 forced Rd1+ 3.Bf1 Rxa1 4.Nxa1 c1=Q

        best regards

        1. … Nb3!!
        2. Nxb3 Rd1+
        3. Bf1 Rxa1

        If

        1. … Rd1+?
        2. Bf1 Nb3
        3. a7!

        1. …Rd1+
        2. Bf1 Nb3
        3. a7 !?

        1 …Nb3
        2.Nxb3 Rd1+ appears to limit White’s chances with the a-pawn

        @7:20:00PM,

        What if 3. a7?

        1…Nb3! first is a try.

        Now, if 2. Nxb3 Rd1+ 3. Bf1 Rxa1 4. Nxa1 c1Q wins as pointed out Anonymous @ 7:20:00PM.

        But I am not seeing a clear-cut win after

        2. Ra2 Rd1+ 3. Bf1 Rxc1 4. a7 Rxf1+ 5. Kxf1 c1Q+ 6. Kg2, seems unclear.

        Anonymous’ suggestion doesn’t seem to work, since White can play 3.a7! and 4.a8(Q)+. Instead, Black should transpose moves with 1…Nb3! 2.Nxb3 (2.a7 Nxa1-+) Rd1+ 3.Bf1 Rxa1 and wins.

        1. … Nb3!!
        2. Ra2 Nxc1
        3. Rxc2 Nb3 and Black is a piece up

        Certainly,

        1)… Nb3
        2)Ra2 Rd1
        3)Bf1 Rc1
        4)a7 Rxf1
        5)c1=Q+ Kg2
        6)Nd4

        Complicated, but White have two knights to atack. I guess. (+-)

        Maybe,

        4)a7 Rxf1
        5)c1=Q+ Kg2
        6)Nd4
