I believe that the idea of Ng5 is to eliminate the white square Bishop, once this Bishop comes off, White can exploit the weakness in the White squares surrounding Black's King. Should Black take the knight it will open up the h-file which then White can shift its pieces and setup the rooks to take advantage of the h-file. Hope this helps. Regards, Laurence
