Mastering rook vs pieces endgames
The main concept of each book in this series is to provide theoretical knowledge which can be used in practical games. It means the focus of the books will be on positions which are the most likely to occur – and the practical playing of them.
How often do we see positions, for example two knights vs pawn where one knight is blocking the pawn and the other one tries to get the king to the corner before releasing the second knight for the mate? Or constellations with crazy material on the board? This might happen in one game out of 100! You could spend hundreds of hours working on something that might bring you “only” a single point more out of 100 games!
Our approach is quite different: let’s make more points in the other 99 games! And who knows, we might also be lucky in the remaining one, but actually, statistically, it would almost not matter.
“The Modern Endgame Manual” will make an expert out of you in most of the endgames which are going to appear in your long career as a chess player!
