The Key to Endgame Mastery – Rook Endgames Made Clear

Rook endgames occur more often than any other type of endgame — and that’s why they matter most. In Theoretical Rook Endgames, Grandmaster Sam Shankland offers a refreshingly clear and structured guide to the essential positions and concepts every chess player must know.

• Identifies must-know theoretical positions

• Teaches rules and practical guidelines for unfamiliar endgames

• Helps you assess and play correctly, even under time pressure

• Gives you a rock-solid foundation for practical success

Perfect for tournament players and club enthusiasts alike, this book will help you recognize drawing and winning techniques, master essential setups, and build endgame confidence.
