Chess Puzzle

Well today I'm introducing a slightly different concept. The position below requires more work from the solver. The win isn't a tactical twist or combination but an appraisal of the position and the formulation of a plan.


What is the best way for Black to realize his advantage?

Solution to the last puzzle:
Fischer - Unzicker
World Team Championship, 1970
Fischer did play 1.Nf6 and after 1...Kg7 2.Kf2! Bd1 (if 2...Kxf6 3.Kxf3 is an easy win) 3.Nd7! c4 (if 3...Bxg4 4.f6+ and wins after 4...Kg8 5.f7+! or 4...Kg6 5.f7 Kxf7 6.Ne5+ and 7.Nxg4) 4.Kg3 Unzicker resigned. White wins with his supported passed pawn.
