I chose this rook because I felt the other rook may belong on the open c file. |

Unfortunately I missed this move altogether, however the position has obtained some complications. Notice that blacks pawn is now pinned since if the pawn were to capture black could get mated. This move by black was a good idea and shows the correct way of thinking, it just happens to fall over tactically. White now wins a pawn however as a result there is no longer any bishop pair. |

The reason this line is playable, white gains a tempo attacking the queen in which white can use to move the rook to safety. |

In the game I actually felt that Bf6 was a better place for the bishop. |

I Had been considering trying to triple on the d file however I played this because wanted to reroute my bishop to f3/g2 and I also wanted to prevent ...Qh5 where black is threatning to trap my bishop with g6. As it stands I completely missed my opponents next move. |

Viola! After preventing this move for so long and taking careful strides to make sure this wouldn't be possible I slip up and allow black to play the move freely. |

!? Wanting to avoid a drawing situation I try and complicate matters, actually this is quite a risky strategy trying to avoid draws in this manner against weaker opponents. As it stands black at this point may play g6! And suddenly white has problems. |

Luckily black doesn't seem up to testing out the complications. |

?! This check simply moves the king closer to the centre whites best bet is probably accept that the position is probably going to become drawish and try to make something happen out of the extra pawn. Infact this check actually loses a tempo for white which in turn loses a pawn. |

Now white has given back the pawn and the position is very drawish though black has a slightly better position to be in, for the first time this whole game white has the the edge gained by having the first move. |

However over the next few moves white forcibly grabs hold of the unitive and runs it into something potentially tangible. |

Now white has achieved his goal and black is in a passive position and will have real trouble finding a way to get her king and rook back into the game, however with the opposite colored bishops situation this is more than likely still a draw. |

The plan is to play for h5 then try to follow up by ramming the g pawn down the black kings position. |

! White seizes control of the f6 square and I can follow up with h5. I suspect that she was anticipating h5 and was surprised by g5 |

This came as a complete surprise to me, I was fully expecting the capture of The h pawn as allowing white the protected passed pawn whilst also hemming in the king and rook even further looks suicidal. |

Now white needs to achieve a position where the black bishop is on B4 and white can play Rc6 with an attack on both the b pawn and the Fpawn. |
