I think that the best move for White is Nxc6 followed by cxb5+ and fxe4. It is important to capture Black's bishop and open up the diagonals for the bishops and files for the rook. This will certainly improve White's chance of creating a mating net. White should win this position. Although I would agree that today's chess engine may not find Nxc6 as the best move.
