Wael,
Nice puzzle! I think humans would probably play Be5 to limit black knight's counter play. However, for computers, future counter play can be minimized by precise calculation (after allowing knight activation).

One way to think about it is if white plays Be5, less accuracy is needed later in the game. While a win might is still possible as noted by Robin and Bob, the precision required later is higher for humans. Unfortunately, there is no simple standard way to measure accuracy of play needed (especially by computer metrics).

Exactly my point....
