Endgames with kings, rooks and pawns are by far the most common
type - it is estimated that rook endgames are reached in nearly one
in five of all chess games. It's clear that a firm understanding of
them is required in order to become self-assured in this typical
phase of the game. And yet it is exactly this area in which many
players drop precious points or half-points through a lack of
either technique or understanding.
In this easy-to-read guide, Grandmaster and well-known endgames
expert Chris Ward begins with the absolute fundamentals of rook
endgames. He gradually arms the reader with the indispensable
knowledge and confidence needed to move onto slightly trickier
positions. Using examples from practical play, Ward highlights the
correct plans as well as the typical mistakes made by both attacker
and defender.
As is commonplace with the renowned Starting Out series, there are
an abundance of notes, tips and warnings throughout the book to
help the improving player. Starting Out: Rook Endgames is perfect
for those who have previously honed their chess skills with the
earlier books Starting Out in Chess, Tips for Young Players and
Improve Your Endgame Play.
