Solution to easy chess puzzle 0007

At this puzzle, next move is by white. The objective of the puzzle is to gain a piece. The piece can be either a knight or a rook.

You have one option to gain a piece

1. You can capture the knight at f4. Your knight may be captured back. However, you will have advantage if your knight is captured.
2. If your knight is captured by the pawn at e5, the right running diagonal along the white squares from c3 is open. Now the bishop at c3 can capture the rook at h8 since it is not supported.
3. The pawn at e5 was shielding the rook. Since the pawn moved, the rook is exposed. Losing your knight in this fashion is called deflection sacrifice.
4. If the pawn does not capture your knight, you can move your knight back to the previous square.
