Yes.
Seems like there is more the one win in this position.
The problem is imperfect this way.

There is only one decisive win, which Patrick correctly saw. And this is from a real game, so I'm sorry if it's not "perfect" enough for your tastes.

No, 14-10 loses: 20x27 32x16 (if 31-24, 7X14 17X10 8-12 RW) 11x20 28-24 (if 26-23 instead, after the jumps red simply trades 20-24) 20x27 31x24 7x14 17x10 8-11 26-23 5-9 and red will eventually win the piece on 10.

In the original position, 32-27 instead of 14-9 leads to good evaluation scores for white, but at 15 seconds a move Cake was unable to complete the win.

White to move and win. This was suggested by one of Michael Holmes' games, though the actual position didn't come up.
