Here as you can see white is threatening fxe4 and Qb8+ but is black to move and found a way to win (in a few moves) what was it ?

 and I will tell you who was playing and when later

i'm not so sure how white continued cuz the board position seemed hopeless to him.  I have in mind two options for white either fxg4 or Kh4.  I pick fxg4.  dunno if it's the correct one.

1. ... g4+

2. fxg4 Qxg4+

3. Kg2  Qf3+

4. Kg1 Ne2

You are absolutely correct !

1. ... g4+           

2. fxg4 Qxg4+    if 2. Kh4 Nxf3+ win White's b4 queen

3. Kg2  Qf3+

4. Kg1 Ne2   4.Kh3  Qf1+  5.Kh4  Nf3+  6.Kh5 Qh3+ and White must  surrender his
                  queen by 7.Qh4  Nxh4

This game was played by Alex Belyavsky vs Andrei Volokitin, Igualada Masters, Barelona 2005
