Stockfish evaluates the following position as +2: lichess.org/analysis/r3k2r/p1qnnpp1/2p1p3/1pPpP2p/1P1P3P/3Q1N2/P2N1PP1/RR4K1_w_kq_-
I do not understand why white has an such a big advantage in the position. The position is closed, so white doesn't have any immediate attacking points. I don't think black's king in the center is in any danger. The only thing I see that white could have an advantage with is the slight space advantage white has. But then it seems like a very slight advantage, and I have no idea how I'd win as white in this position. I tried starting from this position, and playing the move Stockfish recommends until the game ends. Sure enough, white wins, but I don't understand the moves at all. Can anybody help explain for me?
Note: The above position came from me considering what would happen if the following game went 15. Rfb1 b5. lichess.org/0yOaQawSd1lS
