About This Video:
This video will cover some of the basic and fundamental aspects of rook endgames. Rook endings in chess are the most common type of endgame in chess, with about half of all chess endgames falling into the category of rook endgames. Learning the Philidor and Lucena positions will help you draw games when defending against a pawn, and win games when you have an extra pawn. Additionally we will talk about counting tempi, cutting off the king, attacking pawn weaknesses, and more. Beginner and intermediate players will benefit most from this rook endings crash course.

At 20:58, in this position there are other moves that can win for white, Rf2 wins, and Re2 wins. I checked by playing against stockfish

Yeah, both use the same principle: use the rook to shield your king from checks.

At 20:10, white can actually win more easily by playing Re2 or Rf2, using an easier technique. To motivate the discussion better, the Black king should be placed on c7 or d7.

@mr.m6117 Месяц назад

No lifting of the rook at 4th rank is needed when kings are separated by three files.. when there are only two files this rook lift is a must.

When you said that Pihilidor and Lucena position are not so important, you got me hooked. A lot of endgame material starts with those two, because then you can just explain what thousands have explained before, instead of really explaining rook endgames. :-)

This was so helpful man. I recently had 2 rooks and 4 vs 2 rooks and 2. The starting position was white pawns on a2, b3, g3, h2, king on g1, rooks on f2 and f6. black pawns a3, b7, king on a7, and rooks on e2 and e8. I was so confused on ow to proceed but now I know that the outside passed pawns just push up the board and queen and the rooks assist in the queening journey. Very helpful to a 1300 rated player.

@goldeer7129 2 года назад

Trick at 14:06, if black doesn't push his pawn, but moves his king to a1, DO NOT take the pawn. Yep, stalemate trick. Just do a waiting move with your rook and black will be forced to move away.

Or just play Ra8 and it's checkmate.

@phase0400 2 года назад

Ii used to be quite good at them. Now at 1500 im really bad and lose them all when im 3 pawns up. A key concept which wasnt covered here is get your rook on an open file first. This is really important as then you can go very offensive on your opponents pawn and your opponent can too if your opponents rook is on an open file. There is no way to defend all your pawns and you will lose.

This is great. Do you have a playlist of pure rook endgames? I could watch hours of you explaining the thought process on how to win different rook endgames 👍🏻

@gregmartin3425 Год назад

20:48 again, because the Black King is so far away white can win simply by Re1 followed by Ke7, no bridge required. However if Black's King was not cut off and was at d7, for example, then a proper Lucena bridge would have to be built

@user-ch2kt8mz4b Год назад

you mean Re2 not e1 i guess? i also thinking "why not bringing Re2 in this position, looks like its win too bcs black king too far", bridge ofc make sence as universal tool for all kinds of same situations no matter of black king position, just for this exact situation)

@mattlambert3118 Год назад

In your example at 15 minutes about the rook separating the king and the pawn, it seems like that would only work before the king is on the 5th rank. It takes 3 moves for the rook to take the pawn on the 2nd rank no matter what rank the rook is on while it's blocking the king because it has to go down to the first rank, over to the file the pawn in on, and up to the second rank. If the black king is on the 5th rank, it only takes to moves to defend the pawn on the second rank. In the Lucena position, it seems like it would be simpler to just move the rook to e2 so black's rook couldn't check on the e file. Black could go Kc7 or Kc8, but it doesn't matter because white could still move Ke7 or Ke8 and there's no way to stop him from queening. It would be different if the black king was on c7 instead of b7 and the white rook was on d2 instead of c2 because if white moved Re2 then black could play Kd7 and white wouldn't be able to play Ke7 or Ke8.

@ChessVibesOfficial 3 года назад

You mean on the lichess analysis board? If you mean why is it red instead of green, you can hold down the Ctrl key while you right click and it changes the color to red. And holding Alt gives you blue instead. =P

@tottenvillelegend826 6 месяцев назад

@anupamroy3052 Год назад

Till today, i was able to make the game equal for me and my opponent and bring it into these rook and pawns endgame. But unfortunately, i lost in most of the games because I didn't know these although both my and opponent's points were equal. But , after seeing these i got to know so much that I hope to win in the next games

@alexanderxyz6146 Год назад

Could you make a video on Queen endgames? I feel it's rather hard. (say with +1 or 2 not very advanced pawns for one, (0 for the other)) Last time I had a position with 2 queens and my 2 pawns remaining it's winning but from my view rather hard to not draw vs the AI, I looked it up later and found the DTZ saying 40 (table base until first capture on most optimal move). What principles are there that help better position Queen and King, to prevent perpetual checks and make a progress to promoting your pawn? If your interested here is a pos, edited the correct position: edit: 8/7k/8/5q1P/1P6/8/3Q3K/8 w - - 0 1

@tomato4039 2 года назад

at 12:23 am i mistaken or instead of taking the pawn, rook a8 is just checkmate?

@drone231 2 года назад

no you're absolutely right! it is checkmate i saw that too

@stag6161 2 года назад

Good catch

@keegami 2 года назад

Was wondering if I'd see another comment about this, or if I was just crazy. I'm by no means good at chess (I'm only like 1300) but I saw that pretty immediately and was surprised he said to take the pawn instead. I love NM Nelson's content though, that just surprised me.

@karlstp 2 года назад

It is checkmate, but for practical purposes of teaching this, it's not always gonna be checkmate in this type of positions, once you get to that point, you usually take the pawn, but looking for checkmate is a good habit in endgames!

@mislavivkovic9996 2 года назад

Nelson if he want to get Queen on h8 you can let him by not going diagonal to the king si let him make the Queen and than give him a chech with rook and he have to lose a Queen

@danielyuan9862 Год назад

@greenant9139 4 месяца назад

One question: On 21:10 (after ..Rg1) can white play Re7? It looks to me that he can still get the queen promotion this way (Lucena`s position is still better, because in this way black would capture the queen and white would remain with K+R instead of K+Q). Just wondering.

@lehmamoo2627 Год назад

15:20 doesn't Rf3 after pawn to b3 win on the spot? King can't defend it and the pawn will get eaten by Rb3 if the pawn goes to b2.

In the first example, would a more experienced player for black just leave their rook in defense against an A file pass pawn and leverage their king and doubled pawns against white's FGH pawns?

@Mikhail-tal-the-GOAT 2 года назад

Wow

@yeetman3685 Год назад

In the shown Lucena, isn't RF2 also winning? Because no matter what your opponent does, you can bail your king to the side, then behind your pawn and in front of the rook, and then there are no more safe checks, and you get a queen.
