Your rooks deserve more love from you. As a chess coach, I’ve seen countless games where players let their rooks down—using them passively or defensively instead of unleashing their full potential. In this video, I’ll show you how to treat your rooks with the respect they deserve and avoid common chess crimes in rook endgames.

Key Lessons:

Rook activity vs. passivity in endgames
How to defend actively with your rooks
Avoiding common rook endgame mistakes
