Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess teacher and chess book author based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com.   In this puzzle, it's black to move.  What's black's best move here?  This position was taken from a blitz game that I yesterday.

I'm sure the OP is capable of doing so but then it wouldn't be in the beginners forum.  What she presented is appropriate for the intended audience.
