The winning move for Black is pawn to e4 check. Since the White King has no
escape squares, White only has two options, capturing with either the King or
Queen. If the King captures, 2. Kxe4, the Black Knight gets a Royal Fork by
moving to c3. Or, if the Queen captures instead, 2. Qxe4, the Black Knight gets
a different Royal Fork by moving to c5.
Condensed solution:
1. ... e4+
2. Kxe4 Nc3+ wins exchange, Queen for a Knight or
2. Qxe4 Nc5+ wins Queen for a Knight.
