Daily Chess Puzzle IOM

Today’s problem is from the current Chess.com Grand Swiss in Douglas, Isle of Man.

As is my custom, I only say which side is to play: and not giving an idea if the move wins or otherwise, unless on occasion I think signposting would be helpful. Instead, the problems are posed with the instruction to decide what you would play, as in a game.
