Edit: I put general chess discussion instead of more puzzles... sorry

This is a puzzle steming from a Bird's opening variation, The first move isnt forced... but very necessary if hoping to continue strongly with this opening.  In this puzzle black hopes to push his e pawn by placing his queen on d6... c7 is a much better option though.

Pink? *laughs* i didn't even know there was an option for that

Hey Cloye, thanks for the nice article!  I have been eyeing it for the past couple of days, but keep forgetting to check it out!  I appreciate your thought here...Kh1...a strong prophylactic move.
