#2251 good move but better, I think is Bxd5. I'd find it move in game and win.
After that if Rxe1 then Bxf7+ and Qxd6 and easy win.
I don't know how you would win from that position???
Maybe draw:
You only take 1 pawn. You are still one pawn down.
Also I believe Bxh7+ Kxh7 loses?
What attack is there? Qh5+ Kg7. Black is safe and a piece and a pawn up.
A simple Mate in 7 from my game today!
Find a forced mate (in 6). Sorry if I didn't include all possible lines in the analysis.

- Yes, you are right, but out of courtesy I answered otherwise. Maybe it's wrong, I don't know.

- In this positoin 1. Bxd5 Bxh3+ 2. Kxh3 Qd7+ 3. Kg2 Rxe1 4. Bxf7+ Qxf75. Qxe1 or in other white can chanses for draw. But if first move isn't Bxd5 white loses.
A tricky one-move endgame puzzle. Black to move and draw

It has to be a troll. There is a very similar puzzle which indeed is a draw, but not only th position is not the same, the move order differ too.
I created an easy one. I don't know if it already existed.
In this position, one of the two players asks for the draw. The other player does not accepts. However, the arbiter gives reason to the first player and the game is declared a draw. How was it possible?

threefold repetition I guess. Or 50 move rule, either is independently possible, and we have not enough info.
But in most actual tournament with anti agreed draw rules, both players would received 0 points.
Well actually:
