I also don't tend to worry about those hawk's pawns at the back, either attacking or defending. They could be important later, but in the opening and early stages of the middlegame, I think it's a waste of time attacking those pawns, the tempo can nearly always be better used to improve the position of a piece.

I think I’ve settled in now. It will be hard to overcome being a rook down against you, but I won’t make any more egregious blunders.

As I say that I make an illegal move. 

I mean H (5,3)

It's not nearly as bad as being a rook down in regular chess. One good move and it can turn around quickly.
