📕 This is a really interesting position and difficult to evaluate. Luckily we do not need to do so to find the best move! But anyway, let us resort to one of the old methods of evaluation. Where should the pieces be placed? White, for sure, wants the queen's rook on d1, while the queen could go to d7 or d2 and the bishop – who knows? White needs to somehow break a hole in Black's centre, or forever live with a bad bishop. But in the position White is under attack.
17.Rfb1!
The only move that helps White in his quest to obtain his favorite piece placement. Now the idea is Qg5-d1-d2 followed by f2-f3 and Rb1-d1 (maybe), with Bg3-f2 and b2-b4 in some positions. Less good is 17.Rab1 Qc4!.
