Chess Puzzle of the Week (369)

This week’s position languished in obscurity for almost a century before being rediscovered. Thanks to my virtual friend Neil Blackburn for reminding me about it.

Black to play. He’s a knight ahead but appears to be in trouble. Two questions.

  1. What is his best move here?
  2. How would you assess the resulting position?

Analysis, as always, is required for full marks.
