Knight takes the pawn on E4.

White has to option to either:

  1. Protect the rook by moving it to safety
  2. Throw something in the middle of the diagonal to hope to trade off bishop/knight
  3. Take the Knight and let the Rook fall

All 3 options are advantage to Black. Best is probably option 1, then Black can just move right back to where it started on F6

Wouldn’t that be worse positioning though? They lose a pawn and a rook, but I lose knight and I am no man’s land

Nxe4 and the g7 bishop aim directly at the a1 rook, whatever white does (Qxe4 or dxe4)

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Black to play: chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org

My solution:

Hints: piece: Knight, move: Nxe4

Evaluation: Black is better -2.26

Best continuation: 1... Nxe4 2. Qxe4 Bxa1 3. d4 Rb6 4. dxc5 Nxc5 5. Qc4 Ne6 6. Be3 Rc6 7. Qe4 f5 8. Qd5 Rd6 9. Qc4
