This works for me:
1. ... Re1 sacrifice Rook
2. Qxe1 Nxf3Check King in fork with Queen
3. Rxg3 Qxe1+ g2 Pawn cannot move, must uncheck King with Rook, then capture 
White Queen and check 
King
Black gives up a Rook and a Knight for a Queen and a Bishop.
OR If White chooses not to capture Black Rook:
3. Kh1 Qh2++King can only move to one square, then mate.


Good Morning Puzzlers,

This problem is from Mario Lang's puzzle web page at
