Came across this position in a rapid game, can you find the best move for black?

Best I found is Qa5+ and Qh5 so white queen retreats or trade

I'm gonna have to agree with FrySpy1 on this one. However, have you considered the fact that you're straight chilling because the knight on f6 prevents checkmate?

Qa5+ and Qh5 is right, and thebestchessereverr the problem with the position is the knight coming in to g5 with a lot of pressure on blacks kingside.

Looks interesting

An illegal move that was suggested more than 2 years ago? Yeah, truly interesting.
