Introduction

Welcome to another instructive study by NoseKnowsAll. This interactive study takes you through the most important rook endgames to master. Since rook endgames occur in 9% of all games, there are truly important concepts to learn here! This study is split into two parts: the first is for intermediate players rated <2000 lichess, and the second is for advanced players >2000 lichess. For those of you at the lower end of this rating range, take your time and try to see why other ideas may not work out. For those at the top, master these positions so you can nail them in blitz games! Please check out the first four studies in this series before continuing. Importantly, understanding of the king and pawn endgames will be assumed throughout this study. * Beginner endgames you must know https://lichess.org/study/wukLYIXj * Intermediate endgames you must know https://lichess.org/study/UsqmCsgC * More endgames you must know https://lichess.org/study/xtDSXkyi * Advanced endgames you must know https://lichess.org/study/UO2zqigQ Throughout this study, I will also provide general endgame tips that these important endgames showcase. Whenever this general advice occurs, I'll write it just like this: PRO TIP: Always bring your king up in the endgame! If you find this study useful, please heart it and share it with any friends!
