Black is Fischer. White is Unzicker. It is Black to move. Can you find the crushing continuation for Fischer?

Rxf6 ?
Actually I meant Rxc3
1…R:c3
If 2. bc Qf2#
If 2. R:a2 Rf3+ and 3….Qf2 mates quickly.
Rf6 is crushing!
1… Rxc3!
1….Rxc3!

When it is Fisher chess tactic, everybody feels it may be a deep, Complicated & Beautiful finesse. But I can try something here.
1…Rxc3!! (The Rook is immune to capture by b pawn as there is a mating threat @ f2 square with the Queen). If, 2.R x R?(@ a2) Rf3+ & 3…Qf2#
If, 2.Qd1 (Guarding the f3 square)then, 2…Rxg3! and White has no defense…Even 2. Nd2 is not much help, because of, 2…Rxg3 3.Ke2 Qe3+ 4.Kd1 Rx R+ 5.Kc2 QxR and white is crushed…
Of course I am not Hundred % sure of this. There can be still better lines.
1…….Rxc3!! Crushes white.
A>2.bxc3.Qf2#!
B>2.Rxa2.Rf3+.3.Kg2.Qf2+.4.Kh1.Qxe1+.5.Kg/h2.Rf7#!
C>2.Nd4.Rxa1.3.bxc3.Rxe1+.4.Kxe1.exd4 and black is a Piece up with a easy win.
D>2.Qd1.Rxb3.3.Qxb3.Rxa1.and again black is a piece up.
Rxc3
1. Rxc3 looks very interesting, since b2 is pinned and can’t take the rook (Qf2#).
I don’t see an enforced mate, but black looks much better after this intrusion.
I am too late to comment but may be this one could be interesting.
