I did
I am not sure that whites could win
black king is not good he is threatened by bishop and queen
you would have to play a side to be sure because this game is tricky

Originally posted by RahimKI would say Black has the advantage. The board is wide-open and Black has the bishop pair in well-posted positions. His King is safe and White's is not. White does have a knight that is well posted but the protective pawn is precarious and vulnerable. If it were Black's move, I'd say White's position would be hopeless.
White to move. Does any side have an advantage and is a win possible for either side with decent play?

As White, I probably would try to eliminate blacks bishop advantage and keep my superior knight position. I think I would immediately trade off the white bishop and attempt to trade of the black bishop as well. This would loosen (hopefully) Black's grip on the center allowing me an opportunity to Castle.
Maybe, Bxe6, Qxe6, B-d2, ...., O-O-O, ...., g5 preparing for h4.
If White were allowed to accomplish that, I think White would be much better than he is now.

2. Bxe6?? Rf7!, attacking Be6 and threatening Re7, pinning the Q to the K. Be3 fails to Rxe3, as the Bc5 covers the rook.
I think white just develops the bishop and prepares to castle queenside. Maybe develop to e3 and prepare to exchange off pieces, though I'd hate to lose the well posted knight.

Now that I have, I still don't have any idea what you are referring to.

haha...I think this is one of those interesting positions that appear obvoius , but the deeper you look the more complex and uncertain the conclusion is.
After Nd7 I think black can gain counter-play.
here what I found.....suggested improvements welcome.
Nd7 Nxd7 Qxd7+ [Bxe6+? Kh8 Bxd7 Rf7] kh8 Qxd7 Rae8+ Be2 [Kf1 Rd8] Re7 Qb5 Qd4 [Rfe8 also looks strong] Bd2? Rfe8 0-0-0
and at this junction, I think black has counterply for the lost material -- which may well indicate 1.nd7 is in actaul fact a poor move.
