No no no.

Nba5 is best. If White moves a6-a7 c-knight can eat it, and if white eats with b-pawn, another knight can eat it and prevent a-pawn from moving.

How is Nc5 better?

Nc5 and the game is over. If white takes the other knight black takes the a pawn and knight guards c7 square from there. If white pushes a7 instead of taking the knight then black plays Nxa7. And the third option which makes any sense for white is to push b6 but in that case black again takes the a pawn (Nxa6). 
Nc5 is the most logical move and the game is over once you play it. It is also easier to find because it attacks the a pawn. It is obvious that you have to move the b knight because if white wants to take the c knight it has to break his pawn structure and you can't allow white's pawn to go to a7 or b7 because it is too close to promotion.

Is there one really ? )

korotky_trinity

Oh.. seems l see it.

Knight from b-line should jump on a5. )

But it is not the fact that under time pressure I could find this move.

korotky_trinity

Oh no.

 

Knight a5 doesn't work also.

Your opponent can answer with b6 move. And after that he will promote his pawn.

Considering that you can allow to give up one knight (or even both), the moves are not hard to find, but in time trouble yeah, anything can happen. Which one of Nc5 or Nd6 is better, is basically irrelevant because both are easy wins.

How to win ?

The opponent can move pawn onto b6.

As I can analyze this position... White wins in anyway.

It's a difficult position for sure. But once you realize you can't move the king or the c knight you just have to figure out where to move the b knight. With the right moves black forces a win. With the wrong moves white forces a win.

Now I have an idea that the ending of the game is the most important part of the game....

And I think about this position for ten minutes.

I don't see how Black can force the victory after b6.

Show me that, please. I am very curious.

This position is like a puzzle for me.

Two pawns together is the great force... as one Chess coach said.

It is actually fairly straightforward. The idea is that you force the pawns into a position so you can form a blockade with your knights. This will allow you to win one of the pawns. Once that is achieved, the win is easy from there.

 

Oh thank you.

I calculate very bad. It is even strange that I have 1500 rating now. )


 

It is hard for me to visualize future positions mentally after my possible next moves.

And I play more intuitively. Without exact calculation.

It’s Nba5 if the pawn on h6 captures the knight the knight can regain material

Na7 makes no sense whatsoever. After axb7 white wins

He didn't say he got it right in 5 seconds, just that he got it in 5 seconds.

I don't think axb7 is the problem with Na7. I think b6 is.

How is Na7 supposed to stop the capture of the b7 knight and immediate promotion? (Although b6 does win, but much slower)

It is the most obvious threat in the position
