3. ...Rxe5 4. Rf6 Re1+ 5. Kh2 Kg7 6. Rf5 Nxf2 7. Rxf3 d3 8. Rxf2 Re2 9. Kg2 d2
10. Rxe2 d1=Q 11. Re3 Qd5+ 12. Kf2 Qxb7

I think black will win here, but it is more difficult than the other lines.

>If 3. Qxf3, black also gets an attack on the white king. - 3. ...Nxf2 4. Qxf2

6. Qf6+ Qxf6 7. Rxf6 Rxb3 8. <some move> Rxa3, and now black has all the
chances, because white must capture all the black pawns just to get a drawn
KRNKR ending.

6. Rc8 Kg7, and now if 7. Qg2+?!, 7. ...Rg3 8. Qf2 Rxb3.  Now what?  White goes
down.
