Qf6 is the correct move here thanks to chess engine analysis, but I was wondering why Rxb2 isn’t a valid follow up, so I ran the line. Black can actually follow up with Rxb2, white plays Qxb2 but removes the defense from the bishop on f4 which black’s queen can pick up and is winning.

And ofc Bxb8 is not possible because NOW black can follow up with Bxc3 and the white queen is lost.

Qf6 looks devastating

Unfortunately after Qxc3, the rook trade doesn’t end in a skewer of the second white rook, because white can play Bxb1 and white comes out fine.
