Black's dead walkin', but rather than gracefully resign I'd like to jockey these rooks around to get the feel of working with them. It's a powerful piece but I never get it developed enough to use much.

I'd be just as happy playing one of your alternates, if you wish.Quote:

Or, defend it with the rook and tie up both pieces:D
No, I'm OK playing this. I don't think the other scenarios were any better, just no worse. I think I realized I was cooked when you captured my most recent pawn.
Thanks, that'll be useful.Quote:

R - QB8 --check.

But it's much more fun to draw lines of force with bishop AND rooks.
Indirect attacks are the most fun
Rooks can T-bone bishops
Bishops can stab rooks from the corners..
So,
