Black bishop to g3.
Black threatening RxR mate. So Black queen, bishop and knight cannot be captured.
If white rook takes rook, black simply takes back with black rook and continue the same mating threat.
If white rook to g1 defend after Bg3, then black knight to f2 mate.

Hardly. 1. … Be3; 2. Bxh7+ Kh8; 3. Bxe3 Rxf1+; 4. Rxf1. I think 1. … Bd4 is stronger.
