black doesn't look very good here. is it white to move? or is it some kind of black to move and hope white blunders type of problem?

3. ... Rh1+ looks intruiging to me

Also I said mate in five, not in four

OK OK, you've got the key move correct, White responded 2. Nxg7 😏

yeah I'm drunk and wrote the thing blindfold. should be ok now.

edit: 2.Nxg7 Qxg4 should kind of transpose to the above mate.
