In the game Junior 6 played Kxh7 instead of Bc4 in your line.  Here’s how it
went from the position in the diagram:

1...Rxd3 2. Rxd3 b3 3. h7 Kxh7 4. Rd7+ Kh6 5. Ra7 Bh7 6. Ra6+ Kg7 7. Rb6 Bc2 8.
Rb7+ Kf6 9. Rb6+ Ke7 10. Rb7+ Kd6 11. Kf2 a4 12. Ke3 a3 13. Kd2 a2 14. Ra7 b2
15. Rxa2 b1Q 16. Rxc2 Qg1 17. Rc3 Qxg3 and black wins.

I guess it’s possible for white to save the game, but I don’t see how.
