n4d6?

I thought this too.
Took me a while to see that it fails to ....bxc4, then the d5 square is no longer covered.

appears d4 square is available for escape. At least one more move. . .

Good one..

Not as hard as I expected given the history but nice to see a real traditional puzzle..

Hard one

Couldn't figure out what was wrong with Bc5 for a long time. But there's Nd4 with the idea of blocking of E-line with Ne2
