  <p>Depending who you play, you may be able to play white pawn B3. If ignored, then the Ra4+ will either not be played, or will result in the loss the of the black rook as it moves to A4.</p>

  The black bishop on b4 is unprotected, so it's free for the taking.
  
  Unfortunately, that's not the best move according to Stockfish.
