the most evident: 1. rd7 and black has to give up the bishop (1…bc5 2 bd5) there is also qg3+ – qg6# motive — alex
yep. Rd7! B moves Qg3+ is winning.
I agree with the first two commenters- Rd7 wins a piece or leads to mate.
1.Rd7 Qc8 (1….Bc5 2.Qg3+ followed by Qg6#)
2.Re7 Qc7
3.Rc7 cb3
4.Kb3 and the other black queenside pawns fall since the a8 square is unavailable to black’s rook.
