I capture the pawn with my rook and I now have 2 rooks on the 4th rank. |

Black moves his d7 knight to f8 to attack my rook by going to squares e6 or g6. The e6 square would attack both rooks. |

Now the rook has moved from f2 I feel my king would be safer across on b1 so that the DB can access c1 square to defend. |

As anticipated in my previous comment black now moves his knight to e6 to attack my rooks at d4 and f4. I say that now but I am not sure I saw this coming in the game. |

I move my queen to a3 thinking to attack the king via the 'A' file as only pawns preventing this. |

So black moves his a7 pawn to a6 preventing my queen from attacking the square at a7. I now am on the same diagonal as the black queen at e7 with my pawn at b4 between us. |

I push my b4 pawn up and attack the queen looking to exchange but I am protected if she takes whilst she does not have a defender. |

The knight does what he came to do and steals a rook at d4 and is attacked by my LB at b2. Also my rook at f4 is attacking the knight. |

I ignore the knight which is not threatening anything much other than my c2 pawn. I capture the queen on e7. |

I move my queen over to f7 and capture a pawn whilst bringing my queen and rook together on the f file. |

Black moves his rook down to e3 and captures my pawn. Black can check the king on the 1st rank but I am not worried. |

I now take the knight on d4 with my f4 rook and I am able to block the rook on e3 should he decide to check the king. But this may not be needed. |

I move my DB to c1 and block the check. Black's LB is still at h7 quietly waiting. |

The king retakes this LB. |

Black brings his h8 rook to e8 to join with the e1 rook and take control of the file. |

My rook at d4 can only move sideways so cannot immediately act with my queen on f7 to attack black's king so I move the rook down from d4 to d2 beside the king. |

I captured black's queen and I have the bishop pair and rook, while black only has 2 rooks. Black is short on fire power and therefore cannot bring his other rook down to join his e1 rook as this would be captured by my d2 rook. Also he may be leaving it at e8 as my queen is at f7 and it is the only defender on the back rank. So he pushes a pawn to d4. He may be thinking to use this to give him protection if he were to come down the e file with his other rook. |
