WARNING! SOLUTION BELOW





Maybe there's something better than this but here's what I see:

1. ... Bxf5! wins a knight, since
2. Qxf5 Qxe2+
3. Kxe2 Nd4+
4. Kd1 Nxf5

and white has lost N,N,Q in exchange for B,Q.

Accordingly white might even choose not play 2.Qxf5 and just accept the loss. Either way white is going to end up down a knight.

Did anyone see anything better?
