A search after Rc6, where bxc6 is not allowed (just for the search):
747315550 19:00.0 0.00 20t 1...Rxb2 2. Rc7 Rb5 3. Bd6 Be4 4. Re7 Bd5 5.
Re8+ Kg7 6. Re7+ Kh8 7. Re8+ Kh7 8. Re7+ Kg8H
9. Re8+H Kg7H 10. Re7+H Kh8H 11. Re8+H Kh7H 12.
Re7+H Kg8HR {80}
After Rc6 bxc6, I cannot find a win. Rc6 seems a correct solution to me.
