Stated plan
Play Rxd4+, winning a pawn with check and forcing the king into a dangerously exposed square since White cannot recapture or block.
Resolves to c4d4 · −702cp
Reasoning
The rook on c4 can capture the d4 pawn with check along the d-file: Rxd4+. Critically, White's own pawn on b4 blocks the a4-rook from recapturing along the rank, and no piece can interpose on d3 (the knight on d1 can't reach it, the rook on h1 is too far, and the queen on b3 cannot move to d3 in one move). Meanwhile the black rook on c8 controls the entire c-file, cutting off c1, c2, c3 as king retreats. This forces the king to e1, e2, or e3, walking into a much more exposed position while Black has won a pawn and keeps a crushing attack with queen, rook, and rook all active against an exposed king.
