1 … Qe2! looks like a winning move.
Qe2 game over
that was a juicy one…:)
1.. Qe7 0-1
e.g., if 2. RxQ, Rb1+ followed by mate.
or, if 2. Rf1, Nxf1 (threatening … Qf2+)
3. Qd4, Rb1 (threatening …Ne3+)
and there is no good way to defend.

Qe2
I see Qe2.
Qe2 looks pretty good I think?
The peculiar positioning of the black knight allows the nice shot 1… Qe2! against which I really do not see a decent defence.

Queen e2
Qe2 seems to deflect the rook, allowing a back rank mate.
Qe2!! and happy birth day Vishy!!
