Chess Endgames, Vol. 2: Rook Endgames Download
Endgame theory forms the basis for chess. This becomes painfully clear as soon as a player has reached a clearly won endgame, yet must finally content himself with a draw because he lacks the necessary know-how. Does this sound familiar? Avoid such accidents and make endgames your strength by building up a solid endgame technique.
With this second volume of his endgame training series, Grandmaster and endgame expert Dr Karsten Mueller from Hamburg continues to lay the solid foundations for the last phase of the game. After dealing with basic endgames from giving mate with the Queen to the basics of pawn end games in part I, part II is dedicated exclusively to Rook endgames: Rook versus pawn, Rook and pawn versus Rook, Rook and Rook's pawn versus Rook, Rook and two connected pawns versus Rook. Those who have always found studying endgames with chess textbooks too dry and tedious will enjoy this Video Download with its comfortable training system.
Dr. Karsten Mueller from Hamburg plays for the Hamburger Schachklub in the Bundesliga and in 1996 and 1997 he finished third in the German Championship. As an internationally renowned endgame expert he is the author of the endgame column in the ChessBase magazine and the author of the Endgame Corner column on ChessCafe.com. His book "Fundamental Chess Endings", which he co-authored with Frank Lamprecht and which was published in 2001 by Gambit, is already considered to be a modern classic.
