Levitsky–Marshall 1912 — An Unstoppable Combination

Objective: Black to move. Find the winning combination and maintain at least a +2.0 advantage for 3 moves.

Position and task condition

White has an active queen and rook, but the king is poorly protected and Black's pieces are already very close. One precise move creates several problems at once. Calculate White's replies and find the continuation that keeps the attack winning against every response.
