Black’s bishop could take white’s queen with a check if white’s Re5 was not pinning the bishop to the king. At the same time, black’s Nf6 is hanging with a check gxf6+. So if white’s rook moves away from the e-file then black wins the white queen. So suddenly white’s g5-pawn is not protected anymore. Candidate move is 1…Rxg5. After this, white cannot protect the Re5 with Qc3 because there is a white pawn on c3. Qg3 does not work because of Rxg3. Qe3 does not work because of the black e4-pawn. So white has to play Rxe6+. 1…Rxg5 2.Rxe6+ fxe6 and white has no more checks.
The direct 1…Rxg5! should be strong. White cannot take the rook as his queen would then be taken. White now has to defend his ‘e5’ rook, and I can’t see a good way to do that.
1… Rxg5!
