1…Bc4! ices the cake.
2.Rxd6 Rf1 mate
2.Rxc4 Rd1+ 3.Re1 Rxe1 mate.

Bc4
Bc4 is the best.
Saludos desde México.
1. … Bc4.
If 2. Rxc4 then 2. …Rd1 which leads to mate.
If 2. Rxd6 then 2. …Rf1 #
So white must play 2. Re1 and lose his rook.

…bc4 threatening mate
White’s backrank proves to be weak, when black plays:
1. … Bc4!
with the triple threat:
2. Rxc4 Rd1+ 3. Re1 Rxe1#
2. Rxd6 Rf1#
2. Re1/h2 Rxd4 being up with rook and bishop.
White resigns.
1…Bc4!
If 2.Rxc4 then 2…Rd1+ 3.Re1 Rxe1#
If 2.Rxd6 then 2…Rf1#
If anything that stops mate then black takes the d4 rook and is up material.
1. Bc4, threatening 2. Rf1++
If 1. …Rxc4, then 2. Rd1+ Re1
3. Rxe1++
If 1. …Re1, then 2. Rxd4 winning material, and then also 3. Rd4-f4, threatening again mate on f1.
1. …Re8 just delays the inevitable, with White winning a rook, at least.
1. …. B-c4
-threatening mate or RxR
Bc4
Bc4 is certainly the move to choose. But what is black’s best reply? Fritz 13 in infinite analysis mode chose h3. Black’s obvious next move would be to capture the rook at d4 and then assault white’s pawn at g2 with both rooks and the bishop. It could play out something like this, with Fritz playing the moves for white:
[FEN “5rk1/6p1/3r4/3bR1p1/3R4/P7 /6PP/6K1 b – – 0 0”]
1… Bc4
2. h3 Rxd4 {White has a decisive advantage.}
3. Kh2 Rd2
4. Rxg5 Rff2 {Substantial pressure on g2 already.}
5. Rg4 Bf1
6. Kg3 Rxg2+ {The white king decides to cut and run.}
7. Kf4? Rd4+
8. Ke5? Rdxg4 {An exchange of rooks is to black’s advantage.}
9. hxg4 Rxg4
10. Ke6 Rf4 {To keep white king away from pawn on the g file. Eventually, that pawn becomes a Queen and black is toast. White cannot successfully promote his own passed pawn.}
11. a4 g5
12. a5 g4
13. a6 Bxa6
14. Kd5 g3
15. Ke5 Rf2
16. Ke4 g2
17. Kd5 g1=Q
18. Ke4 Qe1+
19. Kd5 Rd2+
20. Kc5 Qc1+
21. Kb6 Rb2+
22. Ka7 Qa1
23. Ka8 Bc8#
Where I said ” that pawn becomes a Queen and black is toast”, I meant ” that pawn becomes a Queen and white is toast”. Hopefully, you already knew that.
