1…c3 2.Bxb5 cxb2 3.Rf1 Ra1.

Best from Hungary
1. c3 Bb5
2. cb2 Ra5
3. b1(Q)+
OR
2. … Rb1
3. Ra1 Ra1
4. ba1(Q)+
Very Simple.

2)Bxb5,cxb2
3)Rb1 ,Bxb1
4)Bxd7,Bd3
5)Bxe6+,Kf8
6)Nxh7+,Ke7

c3 would seem to win, but what do I know.
1…Bd3 -+
1…c3 is a good move because: if
2.Bxb4 then 2…cxb2 and both of the rook and the bishop are threatened for after 3.Rb1 Ra1 wins and after 3.Rxb5 b1=Q+ wins.
White’s Q is overloaded defending his R & his B so 1 … c3 when
(1) the Q exchange by 2 Bxb4 cxb2 is fatal because the pawn will cost material,
(2) 2 Rxa4 cxb2 with the same monster pawn, &
(3) if the White Q moves, either the R or the B is left undefended.
1…c3! wins immediately.

Dude who said Bd3, you must be that Laffertee/Vidmar/Spawn dude. Jeesh, study some books or something.
i think that 1… c3 is the best move because if 2.Bxb5 cxb2
3.Rb1 Ra1 wins
and if 3.Rxa5 b1=Q+ wins
i think that 1… c3 is the best move because if 2.Bxb5 cxb2
3.Rb1 Ra1 wins
and if 3.Rxa5 b1=Q+ wins
I’m going for 1…c3! which seems to win e.g. 2.Rxa5 cxb2 or 2.Bxb5 cxb2
… c3 & black drops at least a piece.
If Bxb5 cxb2
threatens to queen on b1
If Qxc3 Bxc3
Bxb5 Rxa1
All other variations lead to larger losses for white.
Bd3? and what after?
I think c3 wins a/
FxD cxD
Rb1 Ra1
b/
If the queen moves then RxR
1….c3 to exchange the queen.
2.Bxb5 cxb2 The b1 square is covered by the white bishop.
3.Rxa5 b1=Q+
4.Bf1 (not Kf2 because Be1+) Bxa5
The next move for Black is Bd3!
1….c3 wins for Black
2. Qc3 Qe2
threatening mate on g2
1…c3 wins for Black
2. Bb5 cb2
3. Rb1 Ra1
Black has a decisive advantage
1…c3 wins for Black
2. Ra5 cb2
3. Rb5 b1=Q+
4. Bf1 Bd3 leads White’s final breath or
4. Kf2 Qe1#
d3!
