Comments.Text: @ALNS, Qa5 was my first thought in the position, to prevent b4, but then I realized that it destroys the "Alekhine's Gun" formation bearing down on the d-pawn and the two defending rooks behind it. Then after b6, cxb6, axb6, Black's c5 is not so dangerous, because White can play Rd3 first to prepare for it and then take on c5.

Comments.Text: @Wes: I have upvoted your answer, but I will officially accept it if I manage to convert the extra pawn. Give me time to play this vs computer and please be patient. I have impossible deadline to finish 3 projects and the last thing I can think right now is chess. I hope you understand...

  I have played a game against a computer and came to the following position:
  [Title "Black to move"]
  [StartFlipped "1"]
  [fen "3q2k1/pp1r1p1p/2p1p1p1/2Pr2P1/P2P1P2/4Q3/1P1R3P/3R2K1 b - - 0 1"]
  
  I gave my best to capitalize, but in the end game was spectacularly drawn (3 queens were on the board at some point, but I have managed to save myself with perpetual check).
  I feel sad because I believe that Black should be able to win the game from the position above.
  Can you demonstrate a winning plan from this position?

  After 1...b6! Black can win a pawn. Whether that will be a winning endgame or not is a different matter, but I don't see a better plan for Black. So 1...b6 looks like the most reasonable way to pursue a win.
