Answer: Rf5!
Lines: 1...Rf5! 2.gxf5 Qb1+ 3.Ke2 Qc2+ 4.Kf1 Qd1+ 5.Rd1 Qxh3+ 6.Rd2 Qd3+ 7.Ke1 Rg1+ 8.Kd2 Qd3#
The crucial defense here for white was to not take the rook on f5 but instead play 2.Re2. But black can still take the advantage by playing this narrow line :
2...Qb1+ only Kg2! works here and 3...Rxf7!
The reason 3.Kg2! is the only move in this position is because if white tries to make a counter-attack by playing a move like 3.Re1 attacking the queen he gets this nasty combination :
3... Qd3+ leads to a checkmate in 9!
Just to show how it might end up, let's illustrate one main variation in this position.
4.Re2 e3!! If white gets greedy and takes the rook on f5, then this happens : 5.gxf5? Qd1+ 6.Re1 e2#
So the best move after e3!! is 5.Kf8 Qxe2! 6.f4 Qf2+ 7.Kh1 Qf1+ 8.Kh2 Qxf4+ 9.Kg2 Qf3+ 10.Kh2 Qe2+ 11.Kg3 Qf2#
