Here, I've collected all the lines given so far (I think) and organized them (kinda) into Nd6, Qxc4, and Qc5 variations. Later I may try to add evaluations to them.
That's a lot of work resigning soon - thanks for that!
I'm just looking at this line 23...Qxc4 24.Qxc4 Rxc4 25.Rd1 Nc7 26.Rb8+ Kh7 27.Rd8 Nxd5 28.Bg1 Nc3 29.Re1 Ba4 30.Rxe7 Rb4 31.Re1 Nb5 32.c3 Nxc3 33.Rc8 Nb5 34.Rd8 draw
What if we continue with 34...Na3? I don't see a defence for white at the moment. If he plays 35.Rc1 then we continue 35...a5! In this position white's king can't move, 1 rook must stay on c1 to guard b1/c2 mates, the knight can't move, the bishop can't move as it must defend the knight, so he is reduced to rookd8 and pawn moves!
I can post a few winning lines for us later from this final position after 35...a5, but would like some feedback first (am I overlooking something simple?).
Also, it is only 1 prospective line from where we are at just now!

I think your right, we are winning....I think Nxd4 is straightforward enough. Maybe I left out 33.a3 Rb7 34.Rc8 Nb5 35.Rd8 draw

33 Rc8?? a3! looks like a draw.
However the whole line itself looks like it must have a few deviations from it, however it looks promising and i think that we do have very nice chances. Though, winning? I doubt.
I'll throw my hat in with ResigningSoon and Streetfighter. I haven't had a lot of time to delve into this position. Maybe it doesn't matter so much, ...Qxc4 and ...Nd6 seem to be quite similar.
