I am playing this game on another site, so you are free to make comments.
I have just played the following position and the move Re5 looks completely winning for white.
However.... there is a most masterful combination which leads to either the regain of my material or a crushing loss for white.... see if you can spot what I have got in mind?

Nice. I like the variation where the g5 Bishop dominates the
two Rooks and they cannot prevent the pawn from Queening.

Play out the variation. The c2 Rook cannot go to e7 or c1
and the d5 Rook cannot got to e5 'cos of the fork.

Charming.
