I would like to share with you my 10 tips to quickly improve your rook endgames:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=813QD5vW5-4
1st Activate your rook (often on the 7th or 2nd rank)
2nd Having an active rook is more important than defending a pawn forever
3rd Centralize your king
4th The whole pawn chain is better when defended by 1 pawn
5th More advanced pawns are better (not always)
6th Exchange a pair of rooks when up in material
7th Learn by heart most basic endgames like Lucena and Philidor
8th A rook is better behind a passed pawn
9th When you are down in material create counterplay by making a passed pawn on the side where you have equal material
10th Understand for whom the pawn endgame is favourable in the case of a rook exchange
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video, hope it helped you to play better chess ! See you around
