	I am not sure about concrete moves, but black's plan should be to bring all his
pieces quickly against the white king. Kh8 (to take the g-file) seems
reasonable. Paulo Soares also posted an interesting continuation. But do not
expect a quick tactical win in this position, Qxg2 is bad for positional
reasons, not because there is a short tactical refutation.
