? So I seem to have started off on a similar track to other posters by but
? the idea of allowing the rook trade suggests I would have been heading for
? a draw

I wonder with 1. Rd1 Kg7 2. Rd2 Rxd2 3. Nxd2 f6 black can then aim to play ...e5 when most of his pawns are on black squares and the bishop is quite active. I presume that white would try and block the position and restrict the freedom of black's bishop. The c5 square looks like an outpost for the knight from where it could leap to d7 if given the opportunity to attack the e5 and f6 pawns.
With pawns on only one side of the board, and the kings in postions to defend, I reckon neither side will be able to make much progress.
