The Continuation?

So if 3. Rb4 Rxb4
4. Rxc1

Or 3. Rb4 Ka5
4. Rxb8 ???

Why is the queening a win?

3.Rb4+ Ka5
4.Rxb1 Qc5+
5.Kh1 Qd5+
6.Kg1 Qg2#

Thanks

Yes, Qc5 followed by Qd5 was the key. I had looked at Qe3 followed by Qf3 and that didn't work.

Thanks.

Qe3+ works also, but followed by Qe4+ (not Qf3)
