Oh how fantastic 🙂 Simple but elegant:
1.Rg8+ Rxg8; 2.Re8+ Rxe8 (else 3.Rxd8 Nc6/e6; 4. Rc8/e8 5. RxN and 6. d8=Q) 3. dxe8=Q+, and white wins with Q vs N.
1.Re8+! Rxe8 2.Rg8+! Kxg8 3.dxe8(Q)+ and wins.

1. Rg8+ Kxg8
2. Re8+ Rxe8
3. dxe8(Q)+
Rg8+ sacrifice pulls king away from e8 and Re8+ gets seals the deal.
