How can I win?
Sort:
get him to trade rooks some how
Ah, I see now... Ran it through some software and found the solution... I would have never tought of that...
There's no short answer here, I think, but you are in a good spot. You have more pawns, your pawns are in a bit less jeaopardy than your opponents, and -- most importantly -- you are able to put pressure on his king while yours is fairly safe where it is.
My advice is to start putting him in check and see if you can force a fork. At the very least you should be able to use your rook and knight to take some pawns. Push the king off the anchor pawn and make sure that bishop of his has to stay on defense.
You're in much better shape than you think!
Just the simple, natural check with the rook was winning. Many variations are in the move list.

Yea, I ran it through Jose and the program gave me a similar solution. Overall, I am fairly pleased with the way I played. My endgame needs some work but I think I am getting the hang of everything else.

Are you telling me I think like a computer? Awesome! All your base are belong to ME!!!
Please forgive my ignorance if this is a ridiculously simple problem. I just recently decided to take up chess and I am still a complete amateur. I just can't see a way to win this...
