Aagaard: Conceptual Rook Endgames
Produktinformationen "Aagaard: Conceptual Rook Endgames"
Rook endgames are the most frequently recurring endgames and also one
of the most exciting areas of chess, with mind bending tactical
opportunities and dizzying nuances available. They have unsurprisingly
been a big topic in endgame literature, with a heavy focus on the set
theoretical positions and their logic and fixed conclusions (see the
excellent Theoretical Rook Endgames by GM Sam Shankland, published as a
sister volume to this book as the peak example of this).
Conceptual Rook Endgames
goes in a different direction. Focused on two dozen major concepts, the
book explains the mechanisms of rook endgames in a novel way, by
building foundations with simple examples, which can be seen in the most
complicated examples as well. Rook endgames will remain rich and
surprising, as they are for the greats, but armed with this book, your
comprehension of them will skyrocket.
