Rb2. It doesn't seem to be a great move but at least the rook is out of danger there :/

@boolberry How come you made the board larger last move when it was Team Boolberry to move and smaller now for Team Monero? Trying to beat us my giving us eye strain? I am just joking of course and assume it was an accident since it was the first time it happened.

Sorry! I just made it larger.

In case anyone is wondering, Nxd2 is met by Bc3 when we would be in trouble.
Nxd2 met by Bc3 is followed by Nxf3 which is check. Thus they must capture your Knight, which allows you to Qxa2. So you get a Knight, a Rook, and a pawn (with your Queen in a powerful back side position, Rook opened up to attack down the middle and clearing the forward attack for the light square Bishop) in exchange for losing a dark square Bishop and Knight.
I haven't played out all the scenarios in my head yet. Just wanted to note that one counter defense.
Edit: I don't have enough time to study all the possibilities, but looks like my suggestion may make it impossible for Monero to defend both flanks of the pawns on the left and the light squares Bishop. I am thinking you should attack. But study it more carefully than I have time to. Monero's queen is in a much weaker position than your queen afaics, which is probably the key to the game at this point.
There were many possibilities but I am confident in saying that white would be doing well in the final position you mention. After Qxa2 white can immediately win back material with Qh6 and Nc7 and the attack continues.
