Stated plan

Play Rxf7, exploiting the pin along the a2–g8 diagonal so the pawn cannot be recaptured.

Resolves to f4f7 · lost a forced mate

Reasoning

The key tactical point is that White's queen on a2 lies on the a2–g8 diagonal, which is currently blocked only by the pawn on f7. If that pawn disappears, the black king on g8 would be exposed to check along that diagonal. This means the f7 pawn cannot be recaptured by the king after White captures it, since Kxf7 would walk into check from Qa2. No other black piece can retake on f7 (g7 pawn only guards f6/h6, and the e8 rook doesn't cover f7). Thus Rxf7 wins a pawn outright and lands a rook deep in Black's camp near the king, creating further threats (Rxg7+, mating ideas with the h4/g4 pawns).
