Why Nxd5 is a mistake?

Whites pawns in the centre look super strong then

I don't think it is not playable, there just are better alternatives.  I used Decode Chess to gather the following:

Before Nxd5:

Black has a decisive advantage (-3.48) but should beware of White playing e5

After playing Nxd5:

Black has a big advantage (-1.15); White should beware of Black playing Ne3

I hope this helps shed some light on this position.

because c6 you simply wins the bishop

Winning the bishop is the goal, but c6 also saves black’s bishop by giving it a square to escape to and avoids capture after e5.

Thank you all for your time and help

the idea is that you strengthen whites center and give him a better position in general

instead the move c6 would have been better as you would win a piece, the bishop would have no control or flank squares to go to and you would be up winning the game eventually. i hope that helps but yeah its hard to spot these subtle mistakes or inaccurate moves in games friend, i think really just keep trusting your gut and take your time its just destiny happy.png
