Black to move

Id play Rxf2 without working it out 🙂

This one's a wee bit tougher.

Rxd4, exd4, Nf3+, Rxf3 Bxc5 but it hardly looks decisive.

I dont see the knock out blow...im sure the black bishop has to move with force for Rxd4 to work but cant see how. 🙁

Why not just Bxc5 immediately?

Ng4 and Qc6 doesn't work 😛 . . .then there is only Qd7 which at least doesn't look counterproductive. 2. Rd3 Qg4+ 3.Kf2 Ne4+ (Kh1, Ne4+ and Kf1, Qf5+) 4.Nxe4 Rxe4 5. Bd1 (or Ra2, otherwise mate) Rf4+ 6.Ke3 7.Qh4 8.Kd2 this seems good for black.

2.Rd1 doesn't look as good for black since white has Rg3 and black doesn't seem to have any goodies after that.

hmm, Ng4 might work...looks interesting...I do not see other moves...
Qd7 or Qa5 do not come in the spirit of this sharp position...
