Na3
Na3 wins blacks knight after the exchanges
1 Qxc4 wins. If the Black rook takes the White queen, the White rook pins the Black queen against back rank mate.
Qxa4
Qxa4
Nc3
Nxd6
Qxa4 & Qxc4 are obviously losing, will not go there. Nc3 looks better but after Rxb1 Rxb1 Rb4, White has nothing! I think the correct continuation is Na3!! as it threatens the c4 knight also!
1. Na3!! Rxb1 (what else?)
2. Rxb1 and the c4 knight is lost!
1-0
Black has a threat of Ne3+ followed by Ra2 winning WQ.
But W has prospects of a back row mate. So try 1.Na3!
Blocks Ra2 and threatens Rb7 and
Nc4 depending.
So if 1….Rxa3 2.Qxc4 threat Qc8+
or 1….Nxa3 2.Qc8+
or 1….Rxb1 2.RxR threat Rb8+
(if 2….Rb4 3.Qxc4!
Interesting game position! (whether
this is right or not!)

Qxa4 seems to fail as after Qxa4 and Ra1 Qxb5 wins a piece as well as the queen. Qxc4 also fails to Rxc4 when Ra1 is met by Ra4. Na3 on the other hand seems to win the exchange or a piece and may mate as well.
Qxc4 fails to Rxc4 when Ra1 is met by Ra4. Qxa4 also fails as after Qxa4; Ra1 Qxb5 defends the mate. So try Na3 which wins at least the exchange
Qxc4 fails to Rc4 when Ra1 is met by Ra4. Qxa4 is met by Qxa4; Ra1 Qxb5 which defends the mate. I would try Na3 which seems to win the exchange at least.
White has tactical chances due to Black’s weak back rank. N-D4 leads to complications favoring white.
