I recently had and OtB game which I won, after an apparently unnecessary endgame. The opponent then pointed out I should have doubled my rooks (at this point probably: lichess.org/fByNsAcJ#57).
I can see how that would be advantageous with the help of my bishop in this game. But I often can't see, at least during a game, what to do with doubled rooks.
In theory, other than when trying to promote or for the purposes of executing a concrete plan, are there cases when doubled rooks are a disadvantage? If the answer is no, I suppose I should always double them, subject to the above exceptions; do you?
Thanks for any thoughts.
