Course Description

Conceptual Rook Endings

GM Jacob Aagaard takes you through the main ideas in rook endings. Rather than focusing on theoretical positions (which was done so expertly by Sam Shankland in Technical Rook Endgames, or variations without meaning, this course will focus on a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of rook endings, as seen in a dozen of abstract patterns. Some will be quite familiar to you, others will not.

Lesson 1: Why rook endings are relevant and why they are the most fascinating part of chess, as shown by games from this week.

The themes covered in the following sessions will be:
Rooks vs. pawns
Rook behind passed pawns
Shouldering
Checks
Schematic thinking

Pawn promotion
Breakthrough

Umbrella
Checking distance
Defence from the front

Tempo war
Domination
Passive defence
Transition into pawn endings
King in front of the passed pawn
King activity
King’s role
Double rook endgames
Anticipation

Get ready to go deep…
