    1. Q:d7 R:c3 2. Qg4+ and 3. R:c3 wins a piece, as does 1….R:d7 2. R:c8+ Rd8 3. R:b8 R:b8

    Qxd7 immediately jumps out as a possibility, and it works.

    For example:
    Qxd7 Rxd7
    Rxc8+ Qxc8
    Rxc8+

    or

    Qxd7 Rxc3
    Qg4+ Kh8
    Rxc3

    1.Qxd7! Rxd7 2.Rxc8++- or 1…Rxc3 2.Qg4!

    1. Qxd7

    if
    1, ,,, Rxc3
    2. Qg4+ K/any
    3. Rxc3
    and white is a piece up.

    if
    1. … Rxd7
    2. Rxc8+ Qxc8
    3. Rxc8+
    and again, white is a piece up.

    Erroneous attribution.
    Neither of the 2 players qualified for the playoff.
    The game was played in Round 4.
