Fritz says that this move is one of TWO ways to win, and perhaps a tiny bit less
good than the other move (Bb4):

1.Bb4

   [1.Qe6 Ra8 2.Rd7 Qf5 3.Qxf5 Rxf5 4.Rxc7 Rf7 5.b6]

1...b6

   [1...Ra8 2.Bxa5 Rxa5 3.Rc1]

   [1...f3 2.exf3 Ra8 3.Qd8+ Rf8 4.Bxf8 Rxd8 5.Rxd8 Kf7 6.Rc1 c6 7.Bb4]

2.Qe6 Rb8 3.Rd7 Qg6 4.Qd5 h6 5.Rxc7

All the above variations lead to a clear White advantage.
