You mean two rooks? Yes, you played a good game. I enjoyed it. Yes, two rooks, 3 peices, they're all good agains one queen. I prefer to have two rooks, so whenever I get an oppurtunity to get 2 rooks for a Queen, I usually go ahead and do so.

This game was good, you played well. Congratulations.

2 rocks would totally take a queen.

Yeah, the rocks could smash the queen to pieces.

Here's the recent world championship game 9 Anand and Topalov that featured two rooks for queen. A very difficult game for both players...

2 rocks? I'm not sure.. how does a rock move?

2 rooks are usualy better if it's possible to get them active..
I had an OTB game where I sacrificed 2 rooks for a queen where the second rook was taken with check! and still my queen was much more active and I won 3 pawns and the game evantually

Yes it should be two rooks I apologize for mistake. I am not native speaker.
