Thanx for that comment. I tried to place the Rooks somewhere else but when I pull them back it gets a lot easier to make a run with the pawns and then white has a great advantage for opening and in my games get the first queen about 65% of the times and that makes a great difference. With the Rooks up front white gets the first Queen just above 50% of the times and more often then not has to sacrifice something to get it. Now I'm not the best chessplayer in the world so perhaps there are strategies that would make these numbers a lot different but I haven't found them atleast =) I didn't take your question as critisism by the way, just became curious if I had missed some advantage with having the Rooks more back.
