You may consider doubling rooks if:

  • There is an important open-file, and you want to make sure you have firm control on it. You want to minimize your opponent's controls to the file. (very common).
  • There is a semi-open file with an isolated or backward pawn. The pawn is protected by your opponent's rook. You want to win it. (very common)
  • If you want to exchange both rooks.
  • If you want to improve the position of your rooks. In particular if no other good squares for the rooks to go.
