Keeping the rooks on strikes me as a good decision. WIthout the rooks, White's queenside pawns would be a larger factor. With the rooks on, Black has chances both for a better blockade, and for tactical counterplay. (Have a question? Ask GM Rohde! Not all questions can be answered, but the Grandmaster will pick selected topics to cover live from e-mail received.)
