        This took me long time to find:
        1. Qxf6+! Kxf6
        2. Rxe6+ Qxe6 (Kg7 Rxc6 Rxc6 is up with bishop)
        3. Rxe6 Kxc6
        So far down with quality and 2p, but:
        4. Bf5+ pins the rook and is up with bishop, for 2p that will fall very easily.
        All enforced.

        Seems all got the same solution.
        A variation to look at might be:
        1. Qxf6+ Kxf6
        2. Rxe6+ Kf7!
        Giving bishop right avay, hoping to get better pawns.
        3. Rxc6 (Bg6+ Kg7) Rxc6
        Is it obvious that white is better here? How will white deal with the Rc3 threat and also attack black pawns?
