I've been playing a lot of puzzles and really suck at openings... happy.png I ran acorss another puzzle that I simply can't understand:

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/pgn/4gjEjH2SZC?tab=analysis

The analysis engine even frowns on the puzzle move that was considered correct.... I'm lookin again for a more thoughtful approach to the method suggest in the puzzle compared to the engine at chess.com.

Thank you in advance.
