Master the most common – and most important – of all endgames.Rook endings are by far the most common type of endgame, so a good grasp of them is essential for every player. In this book from Everyman's Starting Out series, grandmaster Chris Ward explains the key positions and techniques – the Lucena and Philidor positions, the active rook, building a bridge and the principle of placing the rook behind a passed pawn – and shows how to handle them in practice. The material is presented with the diagrams, tips, warnings and notes that make the series so accessible, turning many potential draws into wins and lost games into saves. Chris Ward is an English grandmaster, a former British Champion and an experienced author and coach.
