Ajedrez. Chess. The One Rook Saves the Day. A World Champion’s Favorite Studies - Sergei Tkachenko

Learn great traps, turn losses into draws!

Sergei Tkachenko has collected 100 studies whose common theme is that white ends up with just one rook in the finale, yet manages to draw.

There are no more than six moves in almost all solutions, so experienced chess players can analyze the positions directly from the diagrams. Newbies to chess problems will also find analyzing these studies useful. The diverse set of tactical ideas involving the king in the finale will enable them to gain a deeper understanding of the king's resourcefulness.

Some of these studies are classics from bygone ages. Others were originally published in the Soviet Union or ex-Soviet countries. Several are Sergei’s own compositions.

This is the fourth book in a series of endgame studies.
