Black to play and win

Solution

I messed this one up. Alas, I saw the winning move, 1..Bg2, but not the follow up, despite the fact that the move I chose, 1…Qe3, has a very similar purpose: threatening Rc1. My line was very strong too, but 1…Bg2 was more forcing. In the game, black chose an even weaker move, and drew.
