1…Rg1+ 2.Kc2 Nd4+! 3.cxd4 Rc7 and black pinned the white Queen
But after white plays R X Q he is a piece up and with a pawn on the 6th rank.

(Threatening Queen and mate.)

[For example 3.Qb4 Rg1+ 4.Bf1 Rxf1+ 5.Kc2 Rc1#]
3…Nxc4 4.Bxc4 and Black has winning advantage,
After, 4.Bxc4, an interesting position to play against.
Pharaoh

More accurate is 1..Na5
since if 1..Be3 2. Kc2 Rd2 3. Kb3 Na5 is not winning ..
White’s passer is dangerous.
1..Na5 avoids all since you cannot “really” prevent the Be3 and Rd2 moves.
1.-Be3+ is best
1.-Na5? and Black no longer has a clear advantage after:
2.Nxf5! Rg1+ 3.Kc2 Nxc4 4.Bxc4 Rh7
