42... Rb1
Now ironically none of black's pieces is protected and white can simply take the rook on b1, keeping his own rook protected by both the bishop and the queen. But: After 43. Qxb1 follows 43. ...Qxg3 , 44. Kf1 (the only move), and white has no defense against 44. ...Bc4 , 45. Qd3 Bxd3 mate. Whereas after 43. Rxg5 follows 43. ...Rxe1 , 44. Kh2(only move) Rh1 mate. A surprising end, isn't it? Hope you enjoyed it a little and you don't mind my bad english... Good luck wherever you are!
