Maybe 1…Rg3?
1…Rg3(with the idea Rxh3++) 2.fxg3 fxg3+, 3.Kxg3 Rxf3+ 4.Kh4 Rxh3 5.Kg5 Bh6++
Agree with Lucas, but with just a bit more detail:
1….Rg3
2.fg3(only move) fg3+
3.Kg3 Rf3+
4.Kh4(if 4.Kh2 Qh3+ 5.Kg1 Rf1#)Qh3+
5.Kg5 Bh6# (or 5….Qh6#)

referring to Yancey:
… or simply 4.Kh2 Rh3# 😉
Yep, that is more direct. Had Qh3 on the brain from the main line and didn’t even consider the rook at that point.

I’m seeing:
1…Rh1+
2. Bxh1 f3!
3. Any move and mate follows after Be4+ and meaningless knight intervention.
the problem with 1..Rh1+ 2.Bxh1 f3 is that white plays 3.Nf6 an it seems that white is the one giving mate.
Yes, the anonymous commenter at 11:00 a.m is correct. Black does not have the time to play a non check move like f3. White has two options to win afterwards (don’t forget the bishop at h1 that prevents Qg2 mate).
