Why 5 ... Nxd5? I was under the impression that 5 ... Na5 was better for Black:
Yes, I was too.

Again, I repeat myself. Na5 is a better move than Nxd5, but it is only equal according to theory.
All I'm saying is that Nxd5 is not AS bad as people say. It is not instantly refuted by d4, or Nxf7
P.S, I know this is off-topic, but I want a quick answer:
Why is it that I can post in some topics, but not others. E.g. I cannot post in the "100% perfect play" topic, while I am able to post here. Am I banned from the forum, is it a bug, what is causing the problem?

Be thankful, I can't even post in the 1% perfect play topic.

It may have something to do with the OP there?
blaster,
As waller mentioned, 16... Bxc1
But even if you had played the better 16. Rab1 Black is more than an entire piece up.

Yes I think so too, I was banned from the notes of the OP, and some other stuff
just before knight sac i ran this position through an engine queen to a5 is the best move and i can see why
Why not 8. Bxd5 fxg5 9. Qf7 mate?

It means the OP has blocked us (I am also blocked)

Don't let it bother you - from what I read on the threads, that OP has a reputation for blocking other members for trivial reasons !
I am sure. The reason why I think that there were few posts last night was because the user blocked all people who had an opinion!
OK, anyways, my question is answered, thanks to those who answered.
Lets get back to the topic of why Nxd5 is not bad :)

Not bad... maybe. But also not terribly good.

and? maybe black is higher in material but white has a devastating attack blacks king is in the centre and is under attack which if you ask anybody is enough compensation for the piece

9.Qf7 is not mate just a devastating check and that is played as we showed

Seriously, no. It is not nearly enough compensation in that position. The attack is not dangerous. The heavy pieces are off the board. Black is easily winning.
^ At least partly because of 16...Bxc1
