You have the plan Ne5-c4-d6+. I think Bb7 is a must. Blacks play can be improved with Rd8 after Bb7, but white still has a big positional plus. As long as you can keep blacks king in the center you are actually playing with an extra piece. This is not medium to short range tactics where computers excel, but long range planning. So when analyzing with a computer, keep in mind, they simply do not understand this kind of position! Torstein
