Those who know the answer to questions like this are masters.

I paid for a chess coaching school online (wasn't cheap either) and it taught me some stuff.  Like this position for example, it teaches to evaluate each piece:

Kings, equal.

Queens, both active, with perhaps white's queen slightly more active being more central.

Bishops, both very active, equal and well placed.

Knights.  White's knight currently stands better, slight edge to white there, but it is balanced out some by the fact that the kight can be kicked anytime.

Rooks.  White's rooks are clearly more active.  One of blacks rooks is staring aimlessly at it's own pawn.  

White stands a little better.

This leads me to think that Rfe8 is a good move as it makes the rook more active, places it on the same file as the white queen, which will probably move, making the position more equal, which should favour black.  However, after white's Rxd8, the best move is likely to be Rxd8, making the Rfe8 move a waste of time.  This leads to Rxd1+.  That is the move I would play.

yeah you play really nice.i can see that in 2 simulation games against you.in the game against you( e4-e5)what was my mistake in opening and middle game???your pawns came forward and im in trouble

In the opening, a4 was a bit off... I don't think that white can allow Bg4.  Before it happens, h3 should be played.  This is revealed after, where you played d3, you really need to get d4 in to keep balance, but because of the bishop, this wasn't possible.  Remember it for your next Ruy!

In the middlegame, because of d3, the move Bc2 makes your LSB a bit lame.  From there, the pawn advances are hard to stop.  Not sure you're "in trouble" yet, but I think I have the advantage for now.

Don't give up though, you can still win... I am prone to blunders like the best of them!!

if white's turn, why not Nc5?

if blacks turn, Rd8 to d7.if den white doesnt exchange its rook there den Rf8 to d8.

If you're looking for a free resource, I think your best bet is Fred Mellender's GTM program.

Agreed.

@GarryAlekhine, you are wanting a program that does what a chess coach does. I don't think there is a good substitute for a live person to interact with.

LucasChess also has a nice play like a GM feature in the training menu.

i have chessimo app and its really good but it repeats exercises to learn perfectly and i dont like to do same strategy again and again becasue i try to learn in the first time

In positions like this there is no harm in trading peices to free up some squares, trade away the rooks and one of the bishops if you can. Nothing worse than not being able to move your peices anywhere because the board is so clogged,
