  I see you looking at "forcing" moves such as checks and captures. This is probably a good place to start. One of the best features about "forcing" moves (especially checks) is that the opponent is limited in their possible responses. Both checks you have available, for example, allow only six possible responses; that's way easier to calculate than the 36 or so moves he'd otherwise have. A capture allows for more *possible* responses than a check, but most of them are obviously bad if they don't regain the material, so that also limits the required calculations.
  
  So, for each candidate move, go through each of their responses, one by one, and see if you have a good reply to it. You've started this with a couple of moves; finish it for those moves, and if they don't appear to be correct, move on to the other forcing moves.
