Q. What established CV has the most potential 'Rxc2' like the game below
has two, sans Pawn promotion and avec immediate capture of that Rook?  

Where does White go wrong? 
Http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1358096.

The exchange sacrifice complete at Move 17 Bxc2 is where it is cricket to
make a change by the rules of post mortem parfait. There has to have been a
brilliancy. No opening theory. After correction '18 Bxg7...'

If 18 ...B-f5 19 Qxb4 and the first attack is over. In summary, get Black down to three pieces and the Queen sitting productively.  After the dust settles, White should be up a point or two and Win -- Reversing Another Outcome. 

Please correct as usual no Computer having been used. A likely scenario after the above 17:  1 Bxg7 Q-a1* 2 B-b1 R-c8* 3 B-c3 bxc3 4 Q-d4 cxb2* 5 K-d2...  And then the Rooks prevent Black promotion whilst White Queen threatens mayhem forwardly.
