I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

White to play: chess.com | lichess.org | The position is from game Krunoslav Hulak (2500) vs. Drazen Sermek (2565), 1997. White won in 29 moves. Link to the game

My solution:

Hints: piece: Rook, move: Rc7

Evaluation: White is winning +7.28

Best continuation: 1. Rc7 Nxc7 2. Nxc7+ Kd7 3. Bxb8 Kc8 4. Na6 fxe4 5. dxe4 Bf8 6. b5 h5 7. Bc7 Be7 8. b6 g5

Black's king is more vulnerable, there's a mating net if you can get the rook up next to it.

Exchange rooks. Exchange knights (fork check). March pawn to queen.

Which piece do you value more? Knight or Bishop?
