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.
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.
