Chess Grandmaster and former British Champion Chris Ward presents Starting Out: Rook Endgames, a guide for intermediate chess players striving to hone their skills. Rook-dominated endgames are one of the most common situations, and the estimated closing situation for one in five chess matches. Starting Out: Rook Endgames is filled cover to cover with diagrams, sample games, tricky situations, tips, tricks, techniques, suggestions, and general advice ("Be careful not to overwork or overload your king--or any other piece for that matter) that will prove valuable to serious-minded chess players everywhere. Like companion volumes in the "Starting Out" series, Starting Out: Rook Endgames is the perfect resource for anyone seeking to better understand individual facets of the ancient, complex, and often brilliantly surprising game of chess.
