Rook Endgames – Essential Knowledge for the Practical Player January 20, 2026

Rook endgames are not merely the most frequent endgames in tournament chess—they are often the positions where games are decided. GM Felix Blohberger approaches this reality with remarkable honesty: before creating this course, he revisited the subject himself, studied existing material including Dreev University’s rook endgame courses, and then set out to present the topic through the lens of someone who has defended critical positions at the World Cup. The result is Rook Endgames – Essential Knowledge for the Practical Player, a course built not around abstract theory, but around the positions that actually appear when the clock is ticking and the result hangs in the balance.
