Rooks in the middle game

In my previous thread, i have come to a conclusion that if the opponents rooks move up two space, you should kill them with the bishops.

What I want to know now is how to use my rooks effectively in the middle game? How do I get them to protect the files and beat the mobility of the bishop in the middle game?

Swap off all the pieces and use them in an endgame.

Or, create open files by pushing pawns.

could you add more detail?

I don't know what else to say. With a material advantage of 2 points you will have a decisive advantage in endgame. So force the game into an endgame.

Exchanging materials would make it easier for you,cuz after the exchanges you could control the open lines with your rooks (the opponent will have trouble since he doesnt have any rooks) and you'll have decisive advantage.

Really comes down to where the pieces are most effective. 

Put it simply, Rooks love these 3 things (they love other stuff too, but these 3 tend to be things they'll really thank you for)

1- open files (that you control or can atleast hold)

 - How do I get them there? Move them to open files!

- What if the files are not open? Use pawn breaks to open the files you want.

- How do I know when to make a pawn break and open a file? Welcome to chess strategy!  It takes learning the opening system you are playing to become familiar with the thematic pawn breaks,  recognizing imbalances correctly on both sides and a lot of sound judgement usually leads to good pawn breaks.  Remember, you never want to play a break move that does more for your opponent than it does for you...so look for good break moves!

- If the file is being contested by both players, you'll often seen rooks double up along the file. (one behind each other) 

2 - their opponent's 2nd rank

- how do I get them there? Move them there, assuming they are already in charge of an open file.

- How do they get charge of an open file?  (See 1)

3 - doubling up on the opponent's 2nd rank

This means getting both rooks on his 2nd rank. This can often lead to lethal attacks or even be helpful in reaching draws from positions where you are down pawns or even more material.

By contrast, using your previous thread's example, your opponent who dropped both rooks (down the exchange twice) will NEED to avoid letting your rooks have 1, 2, and 3 so you can already figure out that he'd be less likely to open files for your rooks.
