1 … Qc2 and back cannot avoid to lose the Queen with the 2 … Rd1 threat.
If 2. Rxc2 bxc2 and White cannot avoid the promotion of the pawn.
1. … Qc2
there isn’t much white can do.
if
2. Rxc2 bxc2
3. Kh2 Rd1
0-1
or
2. Qf1 Rd1
3. Rxc2 Rxf1+
4. Kxf1 bxc2
0-1
Qc2 looks good. Phil
1…Qc2 is my answer.
Black should play Rd3 then Rg3 0-1
1 Qc2!
Rd1 is the threat and taking the Q allows the pawn to queen; Kh2 is not an option.

Qc2 is cute.
qc2 threatening rd1
rf1 is not possible due to qg2++
if white takes queen, pawn will soon queen
Aw Come On!
I like Qc2, which seems to win. For example:
Rxc2 bxc2
any Rd1
How about 1…Qc2
If 2. RxQ, then 2… bxc2 followed on the next move by Rd1 and the pawn queens.
If white doesn’t take the queen on c2, then 2…Rd1+ looks like a win for black
Irena Krushes with Qc2.
I would try
1. …..Qc2 (threatens Rd1)
2. Rc2 bc2 and I don’t see how to stop Rd1 followed by a new queen at either c1 or d1.
1. … Qc2, threatening 2. … Rd1+, looks strong. The white rook can’t retreat to f1 because of mate on g2, and after 2. Rxc2, bxc2 black promotes quickly.
