Why does Stockfish prefer White here? My analysis of the position:


Materially, black is a pawn up.
White's rooks and bishop are active.
White has potential counterplay on Black's Kingside but I think it can be defended by the move Ng6.
Black's queen is active.


According to my analysis, the position is quite equal and I don't find any reasonable justification for stockfish's score.



Can you please explain why does stockfish prefer white here?
The main feature in this position is the lack of defenses around black's king. After Rg1 followed by improving the bishop, either h5 or c4 to pressure f7, you are effectively attacking with an extra rook.

Some sample attacks are:

1) Although a beginner's attacking formation, aligning a queen-bishop battery--by d4, Qd3, Bd1-c2, threatens a simple mate on h7.

2) After an exchange sacrifice on g6, the weakness on the white squares are easily exploited after the bishop gets to c4.

3) After the Knight reaches f5, via Nf1-e3, the pressure on g7 and especially h6 is difficult to protect.

The knight on g6 is the king's best protector, but, mainly due to it being on a white square, it is easily removed, and then black's kingside becomes exposed.
