Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
I’m going to go with …Nf3+. The discovered check / pin after the capture of the knight just might win the queen for a rook.
1.Nf3+ Kf2(Bxf3 or Rxf3,gxf3 lose Q)
2.g4+! Kf3 (Qxg4, 3.Qxg4+)
3.Rf8 mate
1. … Nf3+ 2. In either 2. Bf3 or Rf3 what follows is a double check for black.
2. If Kf2 g3+ will just aggravate the exposure of the king
3. Kf3 Rg8+
Gotta be 1. … Nf3
Gotta be 1. … Nf3+.
The most obvious move is,
1. ….Nf3
2. Bf3 gf3
3. Qg6 hg6
4. Rf2 Rf8 should win for black.
Also, white can’t play
2. Kf2 g3!
3. Kf3 Rf8#
1… Nf3+ 2. Kf2 (2. Bxf3 gxf3 wins.) g3+ 3. Kxf3 (3. Qxg3 Qxg3 mate.) Rf8 mate.

Ηi all.
1.Nf3+ Rxf3
2.gxf3 Bxf3
3.Rf8 Qxg6
4.hxg6
And bishop lose.
1… Nf3+!! was obvious as the first move. If white moved his king, then he’s mated by move 3:
2. Kf2 g3+
3. Kxf3 Rf6# (or Rf8#)(3. Qxg3 Qxg3#)
So white is forced to play 2. Bxf3. Then what happens?
2. Bxf3 gxf3
3. Qxg6 hxg6 (3. Rxf3?? Qxg2#)
and with black’s advanced passed pawn, material advantage and the threat of Qg2#, I don’t think white can hold the fort for much longer.
