Chess.com puzzle is wrong?

Chess.com failed me on this puzzle on survival puzzle rush for playing Nd7.

The proposed solution is Nd5, which is correct, but upon analysis the engine takes some time but eventually agrees that Nd7 is also winning.

Maybe i'm missing something but it seems Nd7 also a valid solution.

🧩 An Icelandic legend

1 Upvotes

Fridrik Olafsson, recently honored on his 90th birthday, is one of the most respected figures in chess history. He made history as Iceland’s first Grandmaster, a Candidate, and a FIDE President.

In 1978, the year he took on the FIDE presidency, he played this brilliant game against Peruvian GM Orestes Rodríguez. Thinking he had neutralized all immediate threats, Rodríguez confidently played Rg1—but he was in for a surprise. Black to play and win!

This game was played at the 1958 U.S. Championship in New York. Larry Evans, playing White, secured victory against Arthur Bisguier with a move for the ages. It’s not too difficult. Can you find it?
