I don't know why but I thought this puzzle was quite funny.
I know it's a puzzle but I can't imagine anyone actually making you do this after the first move.

Puzzle from Daniel Naroditsky game (Dec 10, Titled Tuesday)
This puzzle is from recent Titled Tuesday (Dec 10), in the game Daniel Naroditsky played Re7 to avoid losing the rook after Nf7+ but it’s a very passive move (mistake) that completely loses the advantage after Nf7+ Kg8 Ng6, so instead of moving the rook to e7 - Can you find a romantic way of using the pawn tension on 3rd rank to your advantage? There’s multiple winning moves, but one that is quite forcing and stands out, what do you think it is?
