Why it's a

Hello,

On my 6th move, i did H3, it said to me it's a blunder. The best move was Nxe5. Could you explain me why ? I don't get it ?
I will just take my queen and i'm out, no ?

Thanks for your help

Sorry for the mistake.
Can an admin edit the topic subject to add blunder at the end.
Also I meant "He will just take my queen" not I.
My bad.
Nxe5 initiates a common opening trap, usually named after Legal.

After 6.Nxe5, if Black takes the bait with 6...Bxd1, then white gets a forced mate with 7.Bxf7+ Ke7 8. Nd5#

So, as the computer shows, Black's best would be to take the knight on e5 and let White take the bishop on g4.
