If you win two pieces for a rook, remember that it is an exception to the general rule that you go for swaps with material up.

While two pawns and a rook are usually a sufficient equivalent for two minor pieces in an ending, they rarely are in the middlegame, where due to the superior fighting power of two pieces against one, the pawns are often regained before long. Edward Lasker, Chess For Fun & Chess For Blood
