White wins after 1.Rxe5. If 1… Kxd6 2.Re3 whereas upon 1…d2 is effectively countered by 2.Rd5!

White takes the black rook, then sacrifies its own, then lets the black pawn promote and then skewers it!

2. Rd5 Kxd5
3. d7 d1(Q)
4. d8Q+ Ke4
5. Qxd1
1. RxR d2 2. Rd4 KxR d7 wins?
1. Re5 d2 2. Rd5 Kxd5 3. d7 d1=Q 4. d8+ and pickups the queen.
