Rook endgames are the most frequently recurring endgames and also one of the most exciting areas of chess, with mind bending tactical opportunities and dizzying nuances available. They have unsurprisingly been a big topic in endgame literature, with a heavy focus on the set theoretical positions and their logic and fixed conclusions (see the excellent Theoretical Rook Endgames by GM Sam Shankland, published as a sister volume to this book as the peak example of this).


Conceptual Rook Endgames goes in a different direction. Focused on two dozen major concepts, the book explains the mechanisms of rook endgames in a novel way, by building foundations with simple examples, which can be seen in the most complicated examples as well. Rook endgames will remain rich and surprising, as they are for the greats, but armed with this book, your comprehension of them will skyrocket.

Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard is the most talented chess writer of his generation. He won the British Championship in 2007, but is mostly known for his multi-award winning books and his work with students that have won club, country, state, national, continental and world championships, as well as Olympiad golds (board and overall) , the World Cup and Candidates tournament.

Vorteile:
- Tiefgehende Analysen

Nachteile:
- Komplexität: Das Buch setzt fortgeschrittene Vorkenntnisse voraus.
- Umfang: Das Buch ist sehr umfangreich, außerdem gibt es noch ein Parallelbuch von Sam Shankland (Theoretical Rook Endgames), das quasi auch noch mitgelesen werden sollte
