How about Qf6?  If g5 I follow with Qxf5 and if g5xRh6...Rg8.  The reasoning is that if I twart whites threats, black is winning.

Nxc6 is dangerous because white follows with Qd6.

d2 might work but I am note sure.  I am lazy.  I don't want to calculate!

at the end, g5xRh6 Rg8 Ng5, so it doesnt work, but nice idea happy.png
