The answer obviously involves how to catch the white bishop in the most efficient way.

1. ... Ba6! and white is lost
2. Nxc6? ... Rc8
3. Ne5 ... Qe7 -/+ (white's bishop will fall)
if
2. c3 ... Rc8
3. f3 ... Qe7
4. fxe4 ... QxB -/+
In other words Ba6! clears the c8 square for Rc8 and preventing blockage of the 7th rank so that white's bishop can be captured by the queen. At the same time Ba6! prevents any quick exit plans for white's queen and is actually a developing move. All other solutions fall back to mediocrity. Note that white's last ditch effort to capture a pawn with Bxb6 does not work because it gives a free developing move to black with ...NxB.
