I may not have looked at this as deeply as you did, but I saw that after Qa1+
Junior proposes to continue with Qe1 (or Qc1, Qd1) and g5. This creates problems
for the white king because all white's pieces are tied to the attack and the
king must take care of itself. I don't know if it's enough to save the game, but
the position is unclear because I didn't find any clear winning plan for white.
Marching the c-pawn, for example, seems not to work because white doesn't have
the time for it.
