The position at the time of adjournment left Rosenthal with two combined passed pawns ahead - all other pawns being exchanged - and just when Rosenthal was on the point of writing down his move for the purpose of handing it over to the secretary, his opponent announced his resignation.
The exchanges weaken him, of course; and, though he was much limited in his defensive moves, we should have preferred waiting as long as possible before submitting to, much less offering, a reduction in forces.
The effect of the exchange of pawns is to draw the adverse h-pawn nearer to his own king, and therefore easier within reach of capture in case he succeeded in exchanging rooks.

 The Evaluation of Material Imbalances in Chess
It is generally advantageous to exchange pieces when you have the bishop pair, but this mostly seems to be another example of the principle that exchanges favor the side with a material advantage.
I voluntarily exchanged two minor pieces for rook and two pawns with the queens off, thinking I was getting the better of the deal, and then didn't understand why I lost badly.
Thus, the sacrifice of the Exchange for a pawn and the bishop pair can be justified for minor positional gains (or with no major pieces exchanged for no other compensation at all), whereas the same sacrifice without gaining the bishop pair would require major positional gains.
