user25370: Here is the lichess study for the game which is often presented as study.
I am curious here, as to why White is given a strong advantage, even though the material is equal and Black has a lot more active pieces. The Black squared bishop (of Black) is far better poised than White's. The White Squared bishop (of Black) is actively involved in the attack, and the sole knight can swing in easily on c4 square, should a chance arise.
Comparatively, White's minor pieces are underdeveloped. The only advantage I can see White is having is its d-file rook X-raying the Black queen (and potentially an open file)

user18809: The material balance is only temporary. After White goes c4, Black will lose a piece. If Qf5, White has f3 trapping the bishop. All alternatives to Qf5 leave a piece unprotected (for instance c4 Nxc4 Bxe4 Qxe4 Qxc4 +-)
