Rook handling and generally speaking endings constitute one of the
most fascinating elements in chess. Rich in both tactical and
strategic possibilities, they offer us the opportunity to marvel at
its endless creative potential and unique ideas. Of all chess endings
(pawn, queen, rook, bishop and knight), rook endings are the ones
encountered most frequently. Like all aspects of chess technique,
rook endings (and in in general the correct handling of rooks)
encompass a significant amount of theoretical and repeated motifs,
which we have to be aware of - just like our openings. In this way we
will be able to make correct decisions at important junctures of the
game, decisions that will either promise us victory or allow us to
secure the draw. This DVD, called ?Rook Handling?, tries to cover
important parts of this field and help you to assimilate knowledge
and to understand in depth the proper handling of rooks in certain
cases. We shall examine how to keep our rook active, how to trap a
rook, how not to lose a drawn rook ending, how to handle technical
rook endings, how to successfully transfer our rook, how to enhance
cooperation between rook & knight and finally how to defend against a
knight & 3 pawns. To be honest, this is just a small amount of the
huge quantity of material that one has to learn about rooks, but in
any case it is a good start! Video running time: 4 hours
