White to move
How to evaluate this position?
Sort:
White should be clearly better because of the better bishop. Black's light squared bishop is hampered by his own pawns whereas white should eventually be able to use his dark squared bishop to attack the weak a3/g7 pawns.

So White's plan is using his dark squared bishop to attack Black's pawns
Am I right?

That's certainly one important idea although one must be careful and not to give black unnecessary counterplay while pursuing this plan. White could potentially first improve his position by playing for example h3 (to rule out Ng4) and then improve the knight with Ne2 + Nf4/d4.

Material is even but black has weak pawn on a3, which can be attacked by both white bishop and queen. On the other hand, I don’t see any succesfull attacking plan for black. I n just a few moves white should be a healthy pawn up.

I evaluate this as better for white. The white queen is more active plus his bishop is stronger than black’s. The white knight can go to d4 square via e2 and will cover more squares. Ng4 can be met with the simple h3. I would start with Qe5+ with a hidden trick such as Kb7? then Qe7+ wins (Qc7 is answered by Bf6, winning a piece. If Ka8, Qe7, is another tricky situation for black (Qb7? is answered by Bf6) and white wins a piece. There’s a lot that black can go wrong here so I consider white is better.
