Inching closer to queening. This move also keeps black's rooks in check. |

Black is completely tied down to defence white can slowly convert his advantage at his leisure |

preparing for b4 and denying the use of the c file for black. |

white's rook is now free from defending the A pawn. |

Mercutio's king is going to a walk around the queenside but there is nothing he can do. The pawns are very secure. |
|

35. Rf3

The reason why I played this move over Ke3 is that I see that my rook will effect the most influence over the board from this file. If I had played Ke3 my rook would be locked behind my king.
I have been studying FWC Petrosain's games and one thing I have been learning is to play moves that maximize the potential of your pieces. In three moves I will have complete domination over the board. My pieces will be well centralized and operating at their peak potential. |

Mercutio does not like the idea of my King on d4 |

I know have three pawns in the clear, but black still has some fight left. |

Black is putting up a stiff defence but he will eventaully run himself out of useful moves. My game plan now is to win control over the 5th rank. |

In order to win this game I must play to force the off the board black's rooks. |

chipping at black's defensive capablities. By removing the h pawn black is completely reduced to passive play. |

Yay! I finally break into the fifth rank. Now my king can eventually support my pawns to the end. |
