Welcome to another instructive study by NoseKnowsAll. This interactive study is for players 1500-2200 lichess, taking you through an important middlegame strategical concept: rook infiltration. Let's see how we can improve our rooks to their utmost on open files and penetrate to the 7th rank! Importantly, we'll also learn how best to stop our opponent's rooks from infiltrating against us as well.

Throughout this study, I will also provide general middlegame tips that these positions showcase. Whenever this general advice occurs, I'll write it just like this:
PRO TIP: Pigs on the 7th are often worth more than a pawn!
