Rc5!
was thinking Rb5 with the idea of pushing the a and/or c pawns 1. Rb5 b6 2. a4 and what is Black’s defense? not sure
1 Qxf4 Nxf4
2 Bxb7+ Rxb7
3 Rc5+ Kb8
4 Rb7+ Ka8
5 Ra7+ Kb8
But how to make the kill…
1.Rc5 Kb8 (best move to defend)2.Bb7 Rb7 (2. …Qg3 3.Bg2+ +-) 3.Rb7 Kb7 4.Qg2+ matting the black king easily
I suspect that a simple Rc7 block will minimize the damage by lots
