Bc3!
1 ..Bc3, if 2.e6+, Ke8
It looks like winning for Black after 1…Bc3. Then 2.e6+ Ke8 3.Nd5 Bxb2 and the a pawn cannot be stopped. Steph (France)

Ac3 seems to win the pawn and create a passer.
Bc3 followed by Bxb2 (though) if the knight defends the pawn (after bxc3 of course simply a pawn marches).
This was an easy one knowing that there is something going on. If ano 1 is correct (and I think so) I’d dare to say that this one even is easy solving it blindfolded.
But _not_ knowing that something is going on…
B-a3 a whole lot better
