Hi!  My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach and chess book author based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com.  

White to move.  Which pawn should capture the black knight on e5?   And why?

This position was taken from a game that I recently played.

I believe the pawn on f4 should take the black knight. That would expose the black queen to a double stack of rooks on the f file.
