quicker (unless I have overlooked something)

1 ..., Qc3

2 Kb2, Ra3!

if 3 b2xR, bxa3, 4 Kc1, a2, 5 anything, a1-Q#

if 3 Kc1, Rc - a8, etc... #

if 3 bxQ, bxc3, 4 Kc1, Ra1#, or 4 anything else, Rc-b8+, 5 Kc1, Ra1#

missisauga,

Clever variation, but I think, in your analysis you missed both,

if 3Kc1 Ra1#

and more importantly

if 3bxQ bxc3

4Bb5 Rb8

5Qxe5 and I think white can hold

sdtmcn,

The 1 ...Qc3 is clever

 

Thank you

escapest,

I agree with your first comment.

I think if 4 Bb5, Rc-a8 wins for black

but, building on your idea, I think 4 Qxe5 allows white to avoid a quick mate

thanks.
