  I’m not sure but Ra1 seems to me as a good move

  1. … Ra1

  I. 2. Ra1:? gf+ -+

  II. 2. Rbb1? Rb1: -+

  III. 2. Rc2!?
  III.1. 2. … Rf1: ?!
  3. Qf1: gf+ (3. Kf1: gf)
  4. Kg1 and rather not -+

  III.2. 2. … h5
  3. Kg1 gf and a clearer
  advantage

  IV. 2. Rf2 Qc1
  3. Kg3 and now perhaps
  3. … h5+
  4.Kh5: Qf5 and White might
  be able to effectively
  prevent the maneuver
  Ra1-a8-h8#.

  I know my comment comes late but after
  1… Ra1
  2.Rf2 Qc1
  3.Kg3 h4+
  4.Kxg4
  I don’t see a clear winning for black but after
  3… gxf (instead of h4+)
  4.Rxf3 Qg5+
  5.Kf2 Qg1++
  or 5.Kh3 Qg4++
  If white doesn’t play 4.Rxf3 but moves away his queen then maybe Qg1
  but it should be won for black now anyway.
