Two rooks versus queen middle game
Sort:
I'm not asking for moves or continuations. There are literally thousands of possible positions of the kind I've described. I'm asking about general principles of Q v. R + R games. Big difference, no?

If you were at an OTB tournament, and playing a game. Do you think it would be right, or allowed to think its ok to ask somenoe for some "general ideas" in a certain opening that you happen to have on the board at that moment.
Of course not but in correspondence you are allowed to consult books which discuss general principles, are you not? The rules for correspondence here on chess.com allow a lot more than that. Here you can even consult opening databases for moves and continuations which in some openings may turn out to be 20 moves deep.
I'm in a correspondence game (not on this site) which is still in the middle game. I have managed to find myself with two rooks against my opponent's queen. We both have a knight, a dark squared bishop and four king-side pawns, but I have one extra pawn on the queen's rook file which being the only queen-side pawn left in the game is obviously passed, though it is still at home. I can't remember the last time I played a two rooks versus queen game and was wondering what pieces of general advice any of you might have for this kind of game specifically in terms of general principles, pawn and piece placement, strategy, etc. I won't post the game or the position because even though it is not on this site, I feel that any help based specifically on the position would be unfair on my opponent.
