  Nc3+!! saves the game:

  1) if White plays bxc then bxc ;
  Qc1 (to avoid the mate with Qb4+ and Qb2++) Rb8+ ;
  Ka1 Qxa2!! ;
  Kxa2 Ra5+ ;
  Qa3 Rb2+ ;
  Ka1 Rxa3++

  2) if White plays Kc1 (Ka1?? Qxa2++) Nxa2+ ;
  Kb1 Nc3+ ;
  Kc1 (bxc leads to the mate shown in 1) Qa1++

  1. … Nc3+
  What about if white answer with
  2. Qxc3 bxc3
  3. b3
  And white can avoid mate.
