Black to move (game analysis)

When playing a game on Chess Elite, I stumbled upon this little puzzle - one of the variations. If my opponent took on d7 (see the diagram), I was going to perform a nice combination. Can you spot it?

	I don't understand 'if my opponent took on d7' , there's a piece already standing on d7, and it can't be taken by any other piece....

	I have been calculating the variation in my head (i.e. what if my opponent played Rd7). Just try to solve it from the position given on the diagram with Black. http://pogonina.com

	Rc1

	Just to make sure you see the whole variation: 1...Rc1 2.Qd3 and? http://pogonina.com

	2..Qf5? threatening white queen and rook on d7. white cant take black queen otherwise there is a mate for black. knight e2+, king moves then Rc1xRf1 mate.

	Right now I don't see anything other than Rc1, 'cause if Qxc1, then Ne2+ and then ....Nxc1. But since the Queen can go to d3, protecting the bishop once again, I don't any danger, the rook ist protected by the King...?

	...1Rc1! 2.Qd3 (only move, otherwise hanging bishop on b3)Qf5! with double attack (Q and R) and Black win. Queen on f5 is tabu because of mate.
