Its white's move.

Plan of action? I have not yet been able to win from this position, only draw.

Haven't analysed the position in detail, but it looks like white is winning to me. Black is down an exchange with no real play and passive bishops. I would start with 1. Nf3 to defend against Nxf5 and exchange or chase away the Nd4. Then slowly bringing the Rooks and Queen to the kingside and moving the g- and h-pawns up there to open lines looks like the right plan to me.

ok, have been winning now.

The position is far from easy. White is up an exchange, but I don't like the bishop f1 biting on the own pawns. Black should play on the dark squares, say 1.Nf3 Qh6 with ideas like Qe3+ and Bf8-h6. Therefore I would like to start with Qd2 to take away the h6 square and if Nxf5 then Bh3 picking up the pawn on d7 in return and activating the bishop after all. After Qd2 white is certainly better, but it will be a long technical grind.

Not to pick on you or anything, but the question you made is wrong in general - this position has so much play that you can't ask if white is winning or it's only a draw. The question should be whether white is better, or worse, or is the position around equal.

White is obviously better, but it has to be careful, for example after Qd2 as Shandrax offered, 1.. Nxf5 2. Bh3 Nd4 3. Bxd7 f5 it suddenly might be white that is playing for a draw.

1. Nf3 looks like a best try for white, but to be honest it will be very hard for an inexperienced player to win resulting positions. Black is just so strong on dark squares and can pretty much build a fortress, I don't really see a way for white to improve?

For example 1. Nf3, black plays almost any move, let's say 1.. a5, 2. Nxd4 cxd4 3. a3 Bc5 and now what? black will always have Bc6 followed by b5 and creating a weakness on d3 after an exchange. Bishop on c5 will be supported by d6 so c line will not be won by white. King side pawn storm is not scary at all because white's own king is weak enough and as long as black gets b5 white will be pinned to defending against threats in queenside. Also even if white manages to get something going on king side black will always have an escape route for the king to safer place, like e7.

In other words, black should be able to create (or threaten to create) enough play on the queenside to not allow white to commit too much to the king side attack. And White will not be able to breakthrough in the queenside because all the lines are closed.

I honestly don't see a way for white to improve against a good play by black, feel free to show me

Maybe we should try playing around the d4-Knight. For example, after 1.Nf3 a5? just 2. a4 looks very good to me (edit: unless black can build some kind of fortress on the K-side black squares but an exchange up and with white being the only side who has a pawn break it looks kinda unlikely to me). After 1. Nf3 Qh6 ala shandrax we should play Nxd4 exd4 3. Qd2 and it looks that white can unravel.

3.Bxd7 is bad. No need to recover the pawn at all. Tempting black to take on f5 was very nice for us. In fact, why even bother with Bh3?

1.Qd2 Nxf5 2.O-O-O Nd4 3.Bg2 with Rf1-f2, Ne2, and Rhf1 ideas.

After 1.Nf3 a5?! 2.a4? Nxf3+ 3.Qxf3 Black can play Qg7, h6, Be7 and then go to c7 with his king.

After 1.Nf3 Qh6!? 2.Nxd4 exd4 we probably should heed the threat 3...Bxg3+. Black's position is hard to crack.

As Black I would play 1.Nf3 Nxf3 and try to hold the fortress. The material advantage of white is a little deceiving because he'll have to sacrifice at least a pawn to open up a file.

i should really pay more attention to immediate tactics before posting...

White wins. It takes a long time to do it. Got caught up in this for some reason. Got help from software.
