Answers.Body: <p>1...Na5 isn't a losing blunder, Black definitely has a much better position after 1...Na5 2.Qc3 Nxc4 3.Qxc4 Nxd5. Black's lead in development and White's weak position (e.g. the g3 square and the king on e1) should be decisive.</p>
  
  <p>However, 1...Nd4 is a even stronger move because the c2 square is under attack and can't be defended. White can resign immediately after 1...Nd4, whereas White could resist a bit longer after 1...Na5.</p>
  
  <p>You had a winning position, but you weren't able to find the most decisive killing move. Whether this was a "blunder" is debatable.</p>

Body: <p>On the picture, you see the move that was offered by the analyzer.
  My move was Na5. Forking the Queen and the bishop, so I can negate white's attack on f7 and defending the undefended pawn b7, so the queen can not take it.
  However, the analyzer labels it as a blunder and offers Nd4. Why it's better? Why is my turn a blunder, where can I lose here material?</p>
