Solution:
There are some interesting differences with the previous puzzle. Black can draw here. 1...Bd8 2.e8=N [2.e8=Q stalemate; 2.e8=R stalemate; 2.e8=B Ba5 and the mate can’t be forced.] 2...Bh4 [ You can’t just go anywhere with the bishop: 2...Ba5 3.Nd6+ Kb8 4.Nb7+] 3.Bc7 Be7 4.Ng7 Bd8 5.Bf4 Bc7 and White can make no progress. It’s a draw.
