user17430: Who is better in this position? White or black? Hard one!


user15365: This is indeed an interesting position. I am assuming it is black to move because the highlighted knight move should be the last one, and also because otherwise black would lose their queen for no good reason.
It seems that white manages to get some compensation by forcing black to exchange their queen for a rook. However, the evaluation still favors black by a bit less than -2. Anyway, the ending looks very difficult to convert.
