I think the best response is Ngxf7. Black should respond with 1... Kxf7 and then 2. Bxg6. I think Black is in checkmate nets or would have to give up a lot of material, which would mean a decisive advantage.
Regarding Lichess tournaments, I haven't heard of any I can participate in for a while. Could you tell me when the next one will be? I always enjoy your posts. Thanks for them.

You're very close. The first move is indeed Ngxf7, but then not Kxf7 because it would be a check (the other knight covers that square). Black's position collapses after that.
You're right, @eniolw. I meant to write 1... Rxf7 as a possible move for Black, but even that doesn't help at all because Black's position is completely collapsed.
