Solvability Estimate = Difficult

Even with the same version number, each copy of Chesthetica 'evolves' and may perform somewhat differently over time. White is over a rook's worth in material but the precise win in this position still needs to be found. Try to solve this puzzle. Do try some of the others in the series as well before you go. Solving chess puzzles like this is probably good for your health as it keeps your brain active. Nobody wants something like early-onset Alzheimer's.
