1…Bc3 2. bxc3 bxc3 with the threat of Rb6.
Let’s look at Qa1 before moving on to a more powerful move:
1. …..Qa1
2. Kd2 Qb2
3. Qb2 Bb2
And black is clearly better, but I don’t know how much better exactly.
The white king escapes to d2 in the line above and minimizes the damage. However, black can cut the king off by offering the bishop at c3:
1. …..Bc3!
2. Nd2
It does white no good to take the bishop since the reply of bxc3 to bxc3 still cuts the white king’s escape. So, white is forced to either give up the queen at a3, or to find a block of the coming check. Continuing:
2. …..c4 and white is going to have to give up the queen since 3.Qc4 allows Qa1 followed by Qxb2#
1….Bc3! ices the cake….the White king has no escape. after 2.bxc3 bxc3 3.Qb1 Qa3+ and mate next move.

The winning move of Black seems to be:
…. Bf6-c3!!
And White can give up.
