Do you have the board flipped, and this was supposed to be 1…Rxa2? White just recaptures 2.Kxa2 and wins.
Susan,
From what game is this position?
Is whole game score PGN available somewhere?
Anon 9:44,
The board coordinates are too small to read (making it confusing), but row-8 is on the bottom this time.

Isn’t that exactly what I said?

and if 3. Kb1 Ra1+
4. Kc2 Qf2 and winning
if 3. Ra3 (blocking) Qf2+
4. Kb1 Qb2# or
4. Qd2 Rxa3+
5. Kxa3 Qa7+
6. Kb1 Qa1+
7. Kc2 Qb2#
