The discovered attack on d8 looks interesting, but I got lost, at first, with 1.Bc1, but black can exchange at d1 and then retreat the a3 rook to guard the back rank. After pondering it for a few more minutes, I then noticed a much better double threat move with the bishop:
1. Bh6!
And black must lose a rook since Rxd1 is mate on Qg7. Also, gh6 is mate starting with 2.Rd8. I see only one move here for black:
1. …..f6 (preventing Qg7)
2. Rd8 Be8 (Kf7 3.Qb4)
3. Be3 and white should win fairly easily.
1.Bh6
bc1 wins a piece.
bh6!!
How about Bh6?
1.Bh6! Nice !
After 1.Bh6 Qf6
2.Rd8+ Qd8
3.Qg7#
transpo
Bh6
B – h6 if RxR then Qxg7 ++

White’s advantage
1.Bh6, Qf6 2.Rd8 Qd8 3.Qg7++
1. Bh6 with a double threat of mate on g7 and d8.

The black rook hangs at d8.
