Endgames with rooks and pawns are the most frequently occurring in chess, arising in about 1 game in 10. If you learn an important technique in this endgame, chances are you will end up using it sooner or later.And there are a great many methods and concepts that can be mastered with a little effort. This book highlights the key themes in rook endings, and at each turn invites the reader to test his knowledge and skills with abundant exercises.Rook endgame theory does not stand still. New practical examples illustrate novel approaches as players seek to pose problems to their opponents Magnus Carlsen has shown that even the driestlooking positions can feature deadly traps. The ongoing creation of new endgame tablebases of which coauthor Yakov Konoval has been at the forefront enables new classes of positions to be assessed with definitive certainty. Using sixman and the brand new sevenman tablebases, the authors reexamine many of the old evaluations and reach new and enlightening conclusions about classic rook endings. You will be startled and amazed, and soon discover that you are becoming a far more effective endgame player.German grandmaster Karsten Mller is arguably the worlds foremost writer on chess endgames. His masterwork, Fundamental Chess Endings, is a modern endgame bible and was studied intensively by current World Champion Magnus Carlsen in his youth.Yakov Konoval is a Russian chessplayer and programmer who studied at Mikhail Botvinniks chess school.
