I get my pieces into a mess during a middle game that I thought I was prepared for! Can you find the tactical shot for Black in order to knock me off the board and win a full piece as well as a -4.0 Evaluation?! Lichess Tactics Study: https://lichess.org/study/nGNcq2ce/9vL6Yzwh#26

Anyone have any suggestions what are the best openings to play against e4 and d4???

Hey guy's I'm back and will try to get better at chess again
