Stated plan
Play Ne3+ to fork the king and rook, winning material regardless of White's reply.
Resolves to c4e3 · −1282cp
Reasoning
The White king on c2 is very cramped, with its own bishop, pawn and knight blocking most escape squares. Playing Nc4-e3+ delivers check (knight attacks c2 and d1). The king's only legal escape is Kc1, but then the knight simply takes the undefended rook on e1 (Nxe1), winning a rook for the knight. To avoid losing the rook for free, White's best practical try is Rxe3, capturing the knight - but that still nets Black the exchange (rook for knight). Either way Black wins material.
