Eliminating Black's most active piece, after which his underdeveloped queenside will become more notable.
Or 1...Rxc1 2.Rxc1 Bd6 3.Na4! , heading for c5 or b6, when 3...Bxf4? fails to 4.Qxf4.
A bad decision since the white rook was far more active than its black counterpart. Besides, the pawn structure now becomes damaged.
