The second position in the blog is very interesting. After looking at it for a few minutes, I decided that the unhappier pieces would be the bishop or the e1 rook. However after doing some digging on my chess board I ultimately decided that the bishop should be moved to a better square.
Here is how I do that:
first option is riskier if your opponent is strong, the idea is that you do Rc2, if black takes the rook, you take with the bishop. You now are attacking your opponents annoying e4 knight. Defending the knight with f5 seems pointless because i can attack it with f3. However black may not accept to trade the rooks, so I made a second option
Option 2 : You dont bother offering a rook trade, you just do Bc2, point is that you are attacking the knight and it cant really be defended, and it forces it to move out of the e4 square, which is a relief for white, which now has a better position.
Only problem: you lose a pawn this way.
So I did a third option after even more digging, here it is:
While the bishop may not have an excellent position and is locked because of the a-pawn you might do a3, thing is you give black a move, However this isnt as bad as it seems, because after black plays something like Nd6, then you can start pushing the f-pawn, playing aggresively, you dont give black time to consolidate (move:f4). Thing is if black takes the dubious sacrifice you do Rf2, now both rooks have a separate file, for they dont need to be doubled anymore. Black doesnt have any way in which it can guard the pawn so it might as well attack the rook on f2, forcing it to make a decision, other moves for black seem passive. After Rxf4 the black knight is in trouble.
Option 4 : I play a3 and black plays the odd Ra5. Now we can move the bishop to c2, forcing the knight away. After this, the dubious pawn sacrfice (f4) can be done.
Overall, asking your pieces how they feel is an interesting thing to do, and i just played an Alapin Sicilian doing that, it turned out to be pretty good, especially since my opponent was seriously behind in development.
Do correct me if any of my analysis are wrong

An interesting position. For example, the king told me he's very happy and safe and then he rubbed his sleepy eyes.
btw it's this one lichess.org/IKxXBHvu#52 you're welcome

If you move the bishop you drop the pawn. Surprisingly, I think it's the knight!!!
i think the unhappy piece is the bishop and i think that because it can only move to one safe sqaure and that was very helpful thanks i'm also 9 years old so thanks
Just as important: mock your opponent's pieces.
Yeah
F4 or Rf1
