*White has a safer king and a better pawn structure, the pawns in front of his king are all in their original squares. Green light for white.
*White has a strong central grasp and more space. Green light for white.
*White has many pieces that could rapidly be deployed on the queenside. Black's pieces lack clear maneuvers to attack the white king. Green light for white.
*Black has weakenesses all around his king, his pawns are over expanded. Green light for white.
Black's attack is therefore reckless, white's attacking chances are overwhelming. Black has overestimated his options, he's decided to get into an attacking position when he shouldn't.
