Well, it is a first move.. It's a difficult question? I would just say White has
to do something about the two pawns on d6 and e6. If he can do that making use
of the vulnerability of the Black King, maybe he can get an advantage. At the
same time pawn a2 does not look very strong, it could become a target for Black
in order to advance his a and b-pawn. I think White should not straight away
start marching his pawns on the Kingside, he is to vulnerable in the center. So
trying to exchange the Rooks in the center does not seem so bad. Does this not
seem like a good plan? But I agree any plan is better than no plan, and here it
seems you need a plan.

The long pawn marches possible and the exposed position of Black's King make it
a dificult position to judge for computers I think. But in the long run the game
should favour White. So, Jiri what do you think about it? Still not yet a plan
but assessment of the position comes first.
