Black to Move and Win

Black won the game but missed an amazing blow in this position that would have forced White to resign. 
Add 75 points to your current rating if you solve the position without any assistance from Fritz.

    After Kxa3 Ra8+, White can play Ba4 instead of Kb4. Then if Black continues Qc5+ Qb4 and White is OK.

    Once you find Rxa3, you need to figure out how to make it work.
