A modern reference work on rook endings, drawing on six-piece endgame tablebases to reveal definitive truths.

Karsten Müller and Yakov Konoval focus on practically important rook endgames, with a particular emphasis on positions that have been systematically misunderstood in older works. Building on tablebase analysis, they uncover key motifs, refine evaluations and provide reliable guidelines for the kinds of positions that arise most often in real play. Endgame practitioners and ambitious club players alike will benefit from the clear explanations and the patient way in which complex ideas are unpacked. Karsten Müller is one of the world's leading endgame experts; his The Magic of Chess Tactics won book-of-the-year acclaim and his collaborations with Frank Lamprecht established him as the authoritative voice on modern endgame theory. Yakov Konoval is a leading specialist on endgame tablebases.
