About #176 and #178 - I think like Caiello that 1...e5 is may be the best move . This was not a puzzle with exact solution, but a practical position with different possibilities.

Yes, you are right, thanks . I corrected the position - you can see the correction above
With this puzzle (#163 , #167 ) Henri Rnck won 1st prize in 1906 year.
