There's a checkmate threaten to you in the puzzle below. That's easy to see. But there's also a hard attack on Black. Can you find it?

1. Ra3 is just totally losing for white.

Admittedly white is just lost anyway.

MAJOR FAIL.

 Well, Black made a major mistake!

1...Ra5?? Rxa3 is winning easily.

2...Nc6? Na6 is fine.

3...Nb8? Admittedly Nd8 is doomed as well.

Here's a problem for you.

If black plays Nd8 how does white win?

Let me see how on my chessboard.

If you get it I'll give you a trophy.

I need some time. Is it going to be a chess.com trophy or a real live trophy?
