It seems like my king is in danger but the rule of rooks there along with my queen guarding c1 is fine. |

I do the rule of the rooks in the back place. Use them together... |

I am protecting c3. Look where queens can go and respond. |

She is backed by a rook and here she comes! Time to exchange the queens... |

This move seems so small but really it was the best move for me to make. It is because when a rook comes downrange a rook can create a lot of havoc with pawns sitting in original positions that may not seem to be in immediate danger.
However, if I left that a2 pawn back where it was from the beginning I may as well have sacrificed it. |

I need to pay attention to that isolated pawn. I attack it. |

He defends it. |

I need my king close to the rook and the bishop as soon as possible. |

Retreating back from my counter fire! With the need of the King to do it! |

What side of the board should my king be on? Answer: the LEFT! Now is the time to move him NOW! |
