Theoretical Rook Endings: Understanding 'Long Side' vs 'Short Side'

[@makerKID5]

You are quite literally the best teacher especially for concepts like these. I wish you could do more endgame specific content but I'm grateful for videos like this and the time you put into them. Thank you.

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Wow, thank you!

[@tamasmezosi201]

Andras! I'd like to become one of your students, but I'm unable to find any direct contact to you. Could you please provide one? Thanks

Im a chess instructor myself for my local schools. I also teach privately. I must say I LOVE your content, and it has helped me improve in my teachings but also as a chess player. The work you put into these mini-lectures does not go unappreciated.

[@ChessCoachAndras]

I appreciate that!

[@Pierre_16_16]

Thank you Andras, I never heard about short/long side defense, I hope you'll release more basic endagame technics like this one! Thanks+++

[@williammagdalene7439]

This core concept, short side vs long side, immediately clarifies innumerable variations. Thanks, Andras!

[@7845668]

Loving it! And I'd love to see more endgame stuff from you, coach!

Rg1 is a third move to stop immediate mate but it is pretty easy to see Rh8 Rg8 Rxg8 Kxg8 and Ke7 paves the way for the pawn.

I was aware of these ideas but I never had the advantage of having them so well explained. Thanks.

[@ChessCoachAndras]

You're very welcome!

[@kw7145]

Not come across this important concept before. Beautifully explained - looking forward to applying this with both sides.

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Glad it was helpful!

At the beginning of the video I thought you were gonna show the building bridge technique, where white would put the king in checkwith the rook on G1; driving it further away to the edge of the board and bringing its own rook to the 4th rank. In the end the rook supports the king from the nasty checks from the black rook with rook d4 or f4 so that the pawn promotes into a lovely queen. Thanks for the video and keep up your great work and vids. Cheers!

Shorts are terrible anyway. Long form videos are much preferred for actual learning.

[@canonjean-mignon4985]

Thank You for another wonderful video. Maybe we can get another one about endgame pawn breaks and pesky pawn blockades from the king in particular and converting a winning position against blockades in general in the future as well?

[@petrbelan]

Is this the best youtube channel for chess improvers? yes or yes?

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Thanks for your generosity!

[@MattduCouloir]

Awesome ! Strangely, I had never heard of this concept.

[@DanielSouza-rs6wo]

Haven't watched the video yet but I already feel my ELO increasing 🙌🏽

[@eschiedler]

Better format for learning than shorts. Although if you do shorts hope they help grow your channel a lot.

[@fourlanchurro9670]

Excellent vid! Start of a new series?

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Possibly!

[@whimsnickal]

Liking for the algo - great content as ever Andras!

[@doofus9007]
