  Knight13: <If he intended to take this Pawn he might have waited till White had developed his Bishop to d3, then gaining a move; though White would most likely have exchanged himself next move.> Then ...Nxd5 and Black has a more favorable position.

12...Bxd5 is better. ...exd5 just blocks the Black bishop, so it is better to trade it off.
