Black to move. How should black proceed?

1…Re1 looks interesting. After 2. R:g6+ Kh7 3. R:g3 there is elegant 3… Rh1+!!
4. K:h1 Qe1+ 5. Kh2 hg mate. after 2. Rd1 Qc3! seems to be finishing 3. Q:c3 R:d1 and
there is no reasonable defence against Rh1 mate
True. First one is quite elegant mate. Possibly second line may run 2.Rd1 Qc3 3.Qxc3 Rxd1 4.Qxg3 hxg3+ 5.Kxg3 Rxc1 with full R up.or even 3.Qd2 Qxd2 4.Bxd2 Rxd1 with mate to follow.There is also another line
1…. Re1 2.Rd1 Nf1+ 3.Kg1 Ne3+ 4.Rxe1 Qxe1+ 5.Kh2 Nf1+ 6.Kg1 Ng3+ 7.Kh2 Qh1# however white can prolong by 4.Kh2 Nxc2 etc
