It is Black to move. How should Black proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
In my view 1… Rxf2 2.Kxf2 Qxd4+ followed by 3… Qxe5 should give black a nice advantage: two pawns and a knight for the rook, plus exposed white king and shattered pawn structure. I am not strong enough to calculate this through to the end but would have played this over the board myself without too much hesitation.

I don’t see anything better than
Rxf2
Kxf2 Qxd4+
followed by Qxe5 with 3 pawns for the exchange and a damaged white king-side
This looks like a Kaparovian sac — i.e., not a clear win but a huge attack.
1… Rxf2
2. Kxf2 Qxd4+
possible lines:
3. Be3 Qxe5
(threat: …Ng4+ and … Qxg3 with attack)
4. Bf4 Bc5+
5. Kf1 Qh5
and 6… Ng4 with a strong attack.
or
3. Qe3 Qxe5
4. Qf3 h5
5. Kg1 Ng4
and 6… Bc5 with strong attack.
1…Rxf2! (i believe this idea was calculated some moves ago because the rook is trapped)
a)2.Kxf2 Qxd4 and Qxe5 with 3 pawns.
b)2.Nf3 Rxg2! and Bxe4 and also a clear advantage!
This is not 13 years old chess tactic, but 6 years old chess tactic^^

rxf2 kxf2 qxd4+ and qxe5 certainly looks good for black
Rxf2
is it rxf2 kxf2 qxd4+ be3 and qx e5 with 3 pawns for the exchange 2 are conected
RXF2 looks like a way to win black night and open up the white king side for a strong attack from black
RXF2
Rxf2! Kxf2
Qxd4! Be3 ( … Kf1? Ba6+)
Qxe5
Black threatens Ng4+ next and pawns on e4 and g3 are Black’s next target. Also, Black’s two bishops can exploit the weak diagonal squares to attack white’s kingside.
1 Rxf2 Kxf2
2 Qxd4 &
3 Qxe5
Rxf2; Kxf2
Qxd4+; Kf1 or Qe3
Qxe5!…
3 pawns advantage and Knight for the Rook is more than enough in this position. White king castle is unsafety!
White has too many loose ends, so:
1… Rxf2
2.Kxf2 Qxd4+
3.K-f1 B-a6+
4.R-e2 Bxe2+
5.Kxe2 Qxe5
and Black has gained 2 pawns
1.. Rxf2
2. Kxf2 Qd4+
3. Be3 Qxe5
and black is on top
