The following lines all seem to win:

1.Rg8 Rh2+

[1...Ra1 2.Nd5+

if 2...Kb5 3.Nc3+ Kc6 (3...Kc5 4.Rg6; 3...Kb6 4.Rg6+ Kc7 5.Nb5+) 4.Rg6+ Kc5
5.Re6 Rg1 6.Na4+

if 2...Kc5 3.Rg5 Kb5 (3...Kd4 4.Nc7) 4.Kb2]

2.Kc3 Rh3+ 3.Kd4 Rh4+ 4.Ke3 Rh3+ 5.Ke4 Rh4+ 6.Kf3 Rh3+ 7.Kg2 Ra3 8.Nd5+ Kc5
9.Rg5

This is already more work than I feel like putting into the position. It makes
more sense for someone with the 5-man EGTBs to answer the question of whether
"Vlad the Impaler" missed a win or not. Anyone?
