Battle for Acropolis

The match against ACROPOLIS is out biggest team match so far. It's being played at 23 boards, exactly have of the games (23 out of 46) are already over and it's tied: the score is 11,5:11,5.

Two accounts in each team have been closed for violating Fair Play rules (which in most cases implies cheating).

In my game I made some mistakes and my position was poor, but the opponent made a series of blunders which allowed me to have a mating attack.

In this position my opponent took the h6 pawn with his rook, opening the h-file which I'll occupy. No doubts you can find the right moves by yourself that's why I post the following diagram as a puzzle. Black is to move. Mate in 6 moves. Ход черных, мат в 6 ходов.

In the game I missed this checkmate, but found another one which was two moves longer.
On the picture you see the Occupation of the Acropolis by the Ottomans (1827).
