1…Nc3 2. Rb2 Ne2+ 3. Kf1 Rxb3 4.Rxb3 Nxd4
N C3 gets the white Night or Rook in next step by checking.
1. … Nc3
2. Rb2 Ne2+
3. Kf1/g2 Rxb3
4. Rxb3 Nxd4
and the way the black b-pawn is placed, white will lose one of the two rooks. i.e., black is a full knight ahead.
0-1
All I can see is
1. … Nc3
2. Rb2 Rb3
3. Rb3 Ne2+
4. Kg2 Nd4
Black wins a Knight and a pawn.
….. Nc3
Rb2 Rb3
Rb3 Ne2
Kf1 Nd4
Rb4 Nc6
Nc3 jumps out at me, even though I couldn’t instantly see the coming fork in the critical line without thinking about it for a few minutes more:
1. …..Nc3
2. Rb2
Here, white might do better to just concede the exchange by taking at c3, though that is clearly lost, too. Continuing:
2. …..Rb3!
3. Rb3 Ne2
4. Kf1 Nd4 and white will be down a piece and a pawn.
I would play Nc3, seems simple combination. But it is not the end of game. Drunk can even lose after.
Nice and elegant!
1…….. Nc3
2. Rb2 Rxb3!
3. Rxb3 Ne2+
4. K– Nxd4
and white loses a full rook now.
Black effectively goes up a full piece.
0-1
