During the game, after a massive central exchange, a middlegame was reached of two rooks vs. two rooks, with pawns for both sides still on both sides of the board.

Wishing toTo solidify my position, I pushed my pawns forward to create chains on both sides of the board. In order to defend against a rook infiltration by my opponent, as such an attack would destroy the base of my chains and lead to a won pawn endgame for White, I doubled my rooks on my own seventh rank in order to guard my pawnspawn.

  I then went on a long King walk across the board, and won a few pawns. ThenFinally I pushed my new passed pawns, and promoted a pawn, and my opponent soon resigned for the win.

However, in hindsight, I'm not to sure whether or not thisif was a good long-term stragety. My opponent defended inadequately several times, so I can't really tell. Even more crazy is the fact that, despite my rooks being so critical to my plans, they only made 6 moves overall during the course of the entire game.

So, my question is, how How sound was my long-term stragety to keep my rooks on my seventh rank and do an all-out assualt with my lone king? This isn't really something that an engine can tell you.
