A really easy chess puzzle...

...from one of my games. Just sharing for those of you who might have trouble with the daily puzzle. I thought this was rather elegant:

I know. My play hasn't been much to brag about recently. It's fine - I'll get better and start discussing things at a higher level soon, I promise. One thing I really want to understand better is the concept of the middlegame. I think I'm just throwing pieces out there after the opening in many of my games, good and bad ones.
