I guess 1…Rxb2 wins, since after 2.Rxb2 Qe5 leaves Black a piece up. Of course, if White tries 2.Rfe1, then simply 2…Rxb1.

1…Rxb2
2.Rxb2 Qa5
3.Rfb1
yes thats true anon 7:48 but …Qxh2+ Kf1 Bf4 traps the queen.
another variation 1…Bc5!? (threat being Rxf2 Rxf2 Bxf2 Kxf2 winning whites queen with Ne4) and i think the best moves after 1…Bc5 2.Bxf6 Qxf6 3.Qxf6 gxf6 and now white will have some difficulties defending the f2 pawn when black gets both his rooks onto the 2nd rank.
1…Bc5?!
2.Qf4 and White is fine.
