Sometimes (well a lot actually) the analysis will say that a better move could have been made and when I look at the suggested move, I am not sure why it is better. I realize I am new, but I am wondering how I would go about learning why such a move is better.

Thanks,

A really broad question. One of the things I've had stronger  players tell me to do is to "think in terms of plans, a bunch of moves" and not just one move at a time. 

The computer analysis that you're looking at is valuable in case of tactical positions but it falls flat in explaining the "why" or even the strategic considerations of why one move is better than the other.

I'm afraid the only answer is to save up all those "why" positions and consult with stronger player who help you understand the plan behind the "computer recommended move".

I doubt there are engines and software out there that can match a human's ability to instruct / point out a plan that is both useful for the position at hand AS WELL as similar positions in your future games.

If you're talking about the computer analysis here on chess.com, sometimes it is just plain wrong if its considering strategy or if its come to the end of its ply. As said above, where it will really help is tactics.

Thanks for the help!
