Find the best move for Black.

not too hard but nice enough

black defends the a1 rook mate with bishop but cant prevent a b1 mate with the dual attack on back rank

 always look for ways to exploite a king on the back rank, even if you dont mate there are often other benefits

if 2 g3 Rxc7... if you have a whole booklet of Sam Lyod or however you spell it puzzles, you should at least be able to spot that =P
