    e5 “hangs” but opens up the f8-bishop to take on *b4.

    Not seeing your 1st rank but the knight can be kicked and d4 seems guarded like d5.

      But E5 will get taken more than likely as soon as I move it, why lose a piece if you don’t have to. I get being able to move Bishop is good and queen, but is not protecting pieces and getting 1 but two of there’s better long term?
