This game was from a World Championship match. It is Black to move. Black missed the winning line and eventually lost the game and the match badly! Can you find the winning plan for Black?

This is a tough one!
I think the best plan is to keep the pressure and not take the pawn on c2.
Bxc2 Rxc2 Rxe1+ Bxe1 Rxc2 look like -+ ,Steinitz-Blackburne match game #3 London 1876
Impressive 🙂 But that is not the full analysis. Keep going with other defensive options.
Best wishes,

1…Bxc2 2.Rxe8 Kxe8 3.Rc1 Bh6! (3…d3 4.Nxd3) 4.Rxc2 Rxc2 5.Nxc2 d3 -+ would be amazing if it’s correct.
Congrats! It is correct 🙂

Didn’t look that way to me, after 1…Bxc2 2.Rxe8 Kxe8 white can continue 3.Nxc2 Rxc2 4.Bf2 and has at least hope for blunders from black in the endgame.
