Stop changing pieces. Save the pieces for future combinations. You can't be able to make a combination if you don't have any pieces. And start learning chess without artificial intelligence.

This isn't AI, it's just stockfish. -2,89 with Nd3 and -6,19 with Nh5. It's a big difference, but I find really difficult to notice this kind of stuff during the game.

Your mistake is that you let the knight go to your home via b3 d2. Study the main thing. Don't study billions of different positions.

Well if nh5, kg6 traps the knight and you have to play g4 to rescue it and just loses time. Also stockfish is artificial intelligence (ai), you are probably thinking off LLMs like gemini, chatgpt, et cetera, but any computer program that uses "logic" for stuff is ai, as far as I remember.

After 25 Nh5 Rc8, it was time to say goodbye to your c3-pawn. After 25 Nd3 Rc8, you would have been able to play 26 Nc5. (It seems likely that you would have lost anyway, but you could have put up more of a fight with an active knight.)

With Nd3 I wouldn't lose, Maybe I would get a draw, because Players with this Elo Make lots of mistakes

Hi @fernandocatolico, here is my opinion on this position:
on h5, your knight is not only far from the center and on the edge of the board —a positional error— but it also becomes quite trapped; for instance, after 25...f5 followed by 26.Kg6 g4 27.f4, it will be very difficult to bring it back into play. Meanwhile, the black rook will capture the a4 pawn, creating a distant passed pawn, and the game is lost. On the opposite, a knight on d3 can move to c5 and defend a4.
