I played this continuation in a game yesterday and liked it enough to share. It's not a deep problem, but I think it has a nice logic. Against the best defense, Black still has work to do, but, despite several tempting continuations, there is a clearly best move in the position. I have included some light annotations and variations in the puzzle.
