Hi @jaki01! With white pieces I would play 1. Ng5!, black has 2 options (Nxg5 or cxg5), so.. if 1... Nxg5 2. Rg7+, if 2... Kh8 (the worst move) 3. Kg6+ (with the rook) 3... Nh7 and 4. Rxh7#, so, if black plays 2... Kc8 3. Rg6! (Threatening checkmate in h8, so Black only has one move): 3... Nh7, so, with this I just have to check 4. Rc7+ Rg8 5. Rg7+ Rc8 and it's a draw :)

Thanks for trying to solve my chess problem!

Lets assume you mean 1. Nb5 instead of Ng5, ok?
Then we have:

Nb5 Nxb5 (1. ... cxb5, then? 1. ... Qd3, then?)
Rb7+ Kc8
Kb6 Qa1! The queen is protected by the bishop at e5! And now? :)

Okok, hi again! Sometimes I get confused about positions, sorry for that :(

Nb5 Nxb5
Rb7+ Kc8
Kb6 Qa1 I'd play this (great way to draw)
Ra8+! Qxa8
Rc7+! Nxc7 0-0

And..

1.. cxb5

Rb7+ Kc8
Kb6! I think the only play Black has is Qa4
Rc7+ Kb8
Rb7+ 0-0

I forgot that move! (and it's really pretty): 6. Rc8+ and it's stalemate ^^

Great! Hereby I declare you as winner of this round! :)

(By the way, of course one shouldn't use chess software to solve my problems, I write that just in case ...)
