First, a Houdini escape:

 12     80 104952 163721682  Rc8xc2  Kd2xc2  Ra8-c8  Kc2-d2  Qa1xb2  Kd2-e3
                           Rc8-c3  Rh1-d1  Rc3xd3  Rd1xd3  Qb2-c1  Rd3-d2
                           Qc1-c3  Rd2-d3  Qc3-c1

And then, better yet:

 12    139 144509 228753174  Qa1xb2  Nf3-e1  Qb2-b4  Pc2-c3  Qb4xe4  Rd3-g3
                          Be6-g4  Ph2-h3  Qe4-d5
