Solution:
1...Qxf3 2.gxf3 [ This alternative wouldn’t have worked: 2.Be2 Nxd4 3.Bxf3 Nxb3 and White is just a piece down; however, a tougher challenge, though not changing the eventual result was 2.Ne2 Nxd4 3.Nxd4 (3.gxf3 Bh3+ 4.Kg1 Nxf3#) 3...Qf6 4.Nf3 Bg4 5.Bc4 Re4 6.Bd3 Bxf3 7.Bxe4 Bxe4 8.f3 Bb6 9.Re1 Re8 10.Re2 Re7 11.Ke1 Ba5+ 12.Kf2 Bxf3 13.Qxf3 Qd4+ 14.Kg3 g5 15.h3 Rxe2 16.Qxe2 Qf4#] 2...Bh3+ 3.Kg1 Nxd4 4.Qd1 Re1+ 5.Qxe1 Nxf3#
