Re6 followed by Bg4 wins big material. I don’t see a defense.
What about 2. Ne5 ?

Rxb & Bxg4 traps the queen
1 Rxe6 fxe6
2 Bxg5 trapping the Queen
1. Rxe6 fxe6 2. Bxg4 wins the Queen. 1-0
Well, looks simple because of the akward position of the black Q. She is almost trapped. So if you offer your R for the B, and take on g4 next, you win the Q and probably the game. 😉
1. Rxe6! fxe6
2. Bxg4 1-0
Rxe6 and Bxg4
1.Rxe6 and Black’s Q is trapped after 1…fxe6 2.Bxg5 or if Black tries to retreat with 1…Qh5 2.Rh6
1. Rxe6! Qh5
(1…fxe6 2. Bxg4 traps the black queen.)
2. Rxe7+ Kd8
3. Rxd7+ and white has a crushing advantage.
1. Rxe6 fxe6
2. Bxg4 and the queen is trapped.
1.Rxe6 fxe6
2.Bxg4 and white wins the queen.
1-0
