  Mistakes and blunders are normally a loss of material and easy to understand. An inaccuracy is therefore a loss in the evaluation due to a positional mistake. These mistakes are mostly based on the pawn position and sometimes on piece position, although a successful side attack often involves moving the pieces to that side.
