Chess Endgames, Vol. 2: Rook EndgamesEndgame 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 DVD with its comfortable training system.Dr. Karsten
