He doubles on the e file. |

So I switch to the c file. |

He protects. |

I double up. It is hard for him to defend, as Re2-c2 is met by Bb7-e4, chasing away a protector. |

So he resigns himself to the loss of one of his extra pawns and centralises his knight. |

He tries to exchange the other rooks - normally a good plan if you are materially ahead. |

Although not given as a mistake by white, this looks wrong, giving black a strong passed pawn close to the queening square. PGCA now gives black a very small advantage. |

He prevents my bishop from reaching e4 and helps stop my c pawn advancing. |
