Black, to move, just couldn’t resist the temptation to fork white’s queen and d-rook, now continuing 1…Nb2. Was he right, do you think?

No, after 1…Nb2?, 2. Rxc8+! Qxc8, 3. Nxe7+! Rxe7, 4.Qc3!! double attacking black’s queen and knight. If 4…Qxc3, 5. Rd8 mating. Black loses the knight so he resigned.
