Oh man.. Ouch! lovely.

Very cool puzzle, got on the second try. My first idea, correct me if i'm wrong reaches a similiar position:

1. Qb5...Qxb5

2.Bxb5...Bc8-d7

3.Nd5-c8+...Kd8

4.Nxa1

Edit:

Oh wait, that actually loses the bishop. My mistake, nevermind.

The reason move 4 is not RG1 is as follows.

4 RG1, QxF3. 5. NxC7+, KD7 6. NxA8, BxF2+. 7. KF1, BH3+!

If white chooses 5. QxG8+, KD7. 6. QG3, BB4+. 7. KF1, QD1+!

With this line white gets a rook for free and removes the queens from the board, simplfying the end game.

Nice puzzle, thanks for sharing.

4.Nxc7 is another option, though leads to a slightly more complicated line.
