## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014*

It's a good book, though one thing I have an issue with is one of the problems you're studying from a side that's forced to lose!  So before looking further at the solution I flipped the board over and treated it like a x to play and win problem.  Covers Lucena, Philidor, short side defense, Vancura position, and most examples come from practical games instead of some artificial study.  It's a good starting point before moving onto Dvoretsky (many problems from studies in the rook section) and the ECE (no experience with this one yet).  Before this one though I'd recommend a more basic book such as Silman's Endgame Course or Nunn's Understanding Chess Endings.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good, Not Great
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019*

In general, this book has some valuable information but falls short due to inaccurate lines and a lack of reinforcing themes.On the first issue, inaccurate lines. I found multiple errors on my own and then, not trusting myself, double checked my calculations with the computer. Surprisingly, the text was wrong. This happened too often to be acceptable.The second issue, “reinforcing themes”, bothered me because once the author teaches the Lucena position or the Philidor, or short side defense, he rarely references those terms again in the ensuing examples.Regardless, there are certainly lessons to be learned by studying this book. Just work through it with a computer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent!
  

*by R***2 on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2016*

This is the most welcoming, least intimidating book on rook endings that I know. For me, the main advantage of this book is that I will actually read it and learn from it. This book is easy to read, practical, and covers everything the average player needs to know. Although it is a small volume, it is well worth the money. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
