"To learn and to play endgames well, the chess player must love endgames." - Lev Psakhis.

Different kinds of endgames have specific characteristics and rules. Every serious player must know many typical positions and main principles of all types of endings. While that knowledge is crucial during the game, it is not enough to become a good player just yet. There are simply too many different endings—some with two or more pieces, and some that are very complex.

Being comfortable and playing well in those complex endings requires specific knowledge and specific ways of thinking. We call it "endgame thinking."

I chose to write a book on advanced rook endings as I did not wish to create just another book similar to the many already available. I have done my best to present analysis and articles I have written over the past 10-15 years. This work has been shared in my daily coaching sessions, seminars, workshops, and more. The material has helped many trainees develop into strong players, gaining international titles and championships.

Now, it is your turn to taste and enjoy it! Discover the complexities of rook endings in Your Jungle Guide to Rook Endings by Efstratios Grivas.
