Black has the gorgeous Queen sacrifice available to him as follows:
1… Qg2+
2. Rg2, Nf3+
3. Kh1, Rd1+ with mate to follow
1 … Qg2+
2. Rxg2 Nf3+
3. Kh1 Rd1+
4. Re1 Rxe1+
5. Rg1 Rxg1#
Rd1, I think, followed by mate or by loss of material.
1… Qg2+ 2.Rxg2 Nf3+ followed by Rd1+ and mate…
Rd1

Could see this one in about 5 seconds- mate in 5.
1. …..Qg2
2. Rg2 Nf3
3. Kh1 Rd1
4. Re1 Re1
5. Rg1 Rg1#

1. …. Qg2+ followed by 2. ….Nf3+
followed by rda etc.
1….Qg2
2.Rg2 Nf3

It looks like a pretty simple forced mate, maybe I’m wrong but is it 1… Qg2+ 2.Rxg2 Nf3+ 3. Kh1 Rd1 and mate is unstoppable.
1…Qg2+!
2.Rxf2 Nf3+
3. Kh1 Rh1+
4.Rg1 Rxg1#
Rdd1!!
qg2 -rxq nf3-kh1 rd1
I figured it out quickly…
Qg2 check followed by Nf3 and mate follows on the back rank
1. … Qg2 2. Rxg2 Nf3+ 3. Kh1 Rd1+, and mate. I think 1. …Rd1 fails to gxf3, and I’m not sure if black can still win
As has been suggested, Rd1 also works and is quite elegant.
1 … Rd1
2 Re3
(2 Rxd1 Qg2#)
2 … Rxg1
3 Rxf3 Nxf3#
