Stare death in the face.

In this puzzle, black is up 2 points of material, but it's going to be hard to maintain that advantage. This position is volatile, with one wrong move meaning certain death for either side.
You're in a staring contest with death. Make him blink.

EDIT - THE PUZZLE IS BROKEN, AS IT WILL RESET YOU IF YOU MESS UP, CLICK THE REFRESH ICON IN THE CORNER TO TRY AGAIN.

Actually those aren’t the best moves recommended by engine, but I guess they are logical

this post is a disaster. what engine level did you use? I'm using non premium.

I’m using the same engine in chess.com . The engine says Nxf4 is not a good move, instead, Ra4 should be played.
