Cordingley puzzle 44

Black to play and win

Solution

After yesterday's disaster, this was a relief. I solved it instantly: my only surprise was that in the game, black played 1…Bd5, and lost ( I don't know how, the game isn't in Megabase 2012). Perhaps because I knew it was a puzzle, the first move I looked at was 1… Qh2+, and saw immediately this was a mate, without anys variations. 2…Ng4+, 3…Nh3+, 4…Nh2 mate: pretty, but straightforward.
