Use the pawn as a protector for the rook. Bb4 should win:
1. Bb4 Bb4 (Kg7 2.Bd6+-)
2. Rb8 Kg7 (nothing better)
3. Rb7
And white will win easily with the passed pawn since black will lose one of his pieces to stop it:
3. …..Re8
4. Re7 Re7
5. Qd8 Rf7 (Bd6 6.Qe7 Be7 7.c7)
6. c7 Ba5
7. c8Q Bd8
8. Qd8 and the rest is trivial.
Bb5 to take advantage of the overworked and pinned bishop. …Bxb5 Rxb1+ Kb7 Rb2 to skewer the king.
Bb4Bb4 Rb8 & Rb7
White should proceed as follows:
1. Bb4 threatening Bxd6, Bxb4
2. Rxb8, Kg7
3. Rb7 and White wins!
1.Bb4 Bxb4 2.Rxb8+ Kg7 3.Rb7 Re8 4.Rxe7+ Rxe7 5.Qxb5 Bd6 6.Qxc4 Bc7 7.b4
