{"product_id":"conceptual-rook-endgames-jacob-aagaard-9781784831950","title":"Conceptual Rook Endgames: Grandmaster Knowledge","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Aagaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784831956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784831950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quality Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jacob Aagaard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334757732607,"sku":"9781784831950","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fe92d6e-71b7-41b0-8233-b52dfd9a2342.jpg?v=1731467681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conceptual-rook-endgames-jacob-aagaard-9781784831950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
