training Puzzle 68281

the first top two best move by the computer are only 0.6 point apart.
assuming you made the first and second move correctly, the computer will err in reply, and give you a +3 advantage.
however, if the computer did not blunder on move 2. even if you correctly made all the best moves suggested by the computer, the game will draw by perpetual (sorta forced since you are down on material)

i don't think this should be a puzzle.
add: i think the problem with this [type of] puzzle is that the depth processing takes too long. on the second move, when the depth was around 16 or so, the evaluation already jumped to +3. but as you wait for the depth to reach higher, it will shrink back to +0.7. so maybe this is a issue when making puzzles.
Seems like the moves are correct. 2. ... g6 doesn`'t seem to save black after all. But it take much more time and/or some help for Stockfish to find the win. Stockfish change his opnion a few times and seems correct at early depths by luck. The same could be said about the people getting the problem right :D

There seems to be 2 main lines, in one white ends up 2 pawn and in the other 4 pawn(3 passed) for a knight.


oh i see, so white can win after all. 3 passed pawns does look strong. thanks for the explanation.
