Black to play and win

Solution

Fairly straightforward, especially knowing it is a problem. The first move, 1…Rg2+, is obvious, as is the follow up 2…Qg5+, and the only thing to think about is what to play after 3 Kh1. I chose 3…Qg3, but it is equivalent to the move played in the game, 3…Ne5: it is move order only. Then the white's defences are overpowered, and the end result is a simply winning endgame.
