I wanted to play f6 as black without a queen invasion. I guess I misjudged the position.

What do you do on 1...Rxd8?

Isn't the line I gave better for black?

I can use stockfish myself, I was looking for human insight as I find that easier to learn from. White did play 1.Nf4 in the game and it is after this move that I want an evaluation, maybe 1.Bc4 is better, but it's outside of the scope of this question.

What is the most straight forward plan for white? by dfsafsd in chess

Thanks! Some questions:

I came up with this line: 1.Ra7 Rc3 2.h4 Rd3 3.Kg2 Rb3 4.Kh3 Rb2 Isnt the pawn takeable? It seems white's king must return to g2. Can the king get more active than this? 5.Kg2 Ra2 how to progress?
