    While I realized this may be more of a complex/late middlegame position, I believe the analysis of the endgame community would be beneficial.

    black definitely has an edge here, for a few reasons:

    1. With pawns on both sides of the board, a bishop thrives, as it is "faster" than a knight.

    2. the d4 pawn is weak and on an open file

    3. Black has no weaknesses

    4. Black has more queenside space, and the a and b pawns are mobile and will continue to advance

    5. White's knights have no advanced outposts, as I cannot see a way to get to c6
