Attacking options for Black

I am playing too defensively as Black and ending up cramped for room. Apart from the Sicilian, what offers good attacking options for Black?

I would suggest you improve on what you know rather than investigate another defence.

Against 1. d4 try the Czech Benoni - it is a "system" rather than
a defence ... which means (within reason) you can play the first
8+ moves regardless of what White does.

Good explanation here from Melbourne Chess Club

You were doing just fine in Game 10938770

You missed 24. ... Rxe3 though.

Thanks for the responses.
