My first thought here is that there is little white can do without risk. E.g. Qd8+/Qxd6?? Qb4+! Kd3 Rd2#. And a check from white gives a nice Kg7. So black’s first move hardly needs to be a check. 1. … Rc8+ (threats to win rook with Re8+) 2. Qe7 (Kf4? Rc3 Qe7 Qd4+ also wins rook) Is now perhaps 2. … Qb4+ a good attack allready?
1….Qg5+ is the start, since if 2. Ke6 Re7mate, or 2. Qe5 Qe5:+ 3. Ke5: q1Q+ stops the Pawn at h7. But 2. Kc4 or Kd4 are harder to crack.
The position is more interesting if we turn the board around. Then best is 1….Qb4+, since if 2. Kd3 Rd2 mate, or 2. Qd4 f5+ wins the Queen. But it is such a headache trying to visualize the diagram upside down!
Much easier than the last one:
1. …..Qb4
2. Qd4
Or 2.Kd3 Rd2#. Continuing:
2. …..f5 and white is going to lose his queen nothing but a pawn in the transaction.
1. … Qb4+
2. Qd4
2. Kd3 Rd2#
2. … f5+! and there is no way to save the queen, e.g.
3. gxf5 gxf5+
4. Kxf5 Qxd4+ with an easy win for Black.

Qb4+ and the white queen is taken.

1. … Qg5+
2. Qe5 (Ke6, 2. Re7#) c4+
3. bxc4 bxc4+
4. Kxc4/Kc5 Qxe5(+)

Rc8 threatening to win the rook after a check on c1. White’s h6 looks threatening but Rc1+ followed by QxR is still too much material for black.
