HOW TO CONTINUE?
Endgames are tough, but this one may not be that tough!
Give it a try - what to do as White?

SOLVE THE PROBLEM
(My 2nd Croatian League 2025 - Round 5 - Part 3)
After I established dominance in the middlegame, my opponent decided to sacrifice a knight for a pawn just to generate counterplay.
How would you react here as Black?
