*Black's d5 pawn is under attack by queen and knight. There is only 1 defender(Queen) and hence, played bishop( Bc8-> Be6). Thanks.
Why is this move Be6 a mistake or a blunder?


Be6 is way too passive.
You should look for a more active defence, like Bb4.
The other benefit of Bb4 is you want to develop your kingside as fast as possible, so that you can finally get your king off that horrible f7 square on to the relatively safe g8 square, without permanently trapping your rook on h8 in the process.
