GM Gabuzyan Hovhannes
A Queen vs Rook ending with no pawns is usually winning.
But there are times when even top players have struggled to win such positions.
These endgames usually happen after a long fight, which often leaves you with little time on the clock. Also, many players have little to no knowledge about these endings, making it harder to find the right moves.
In this course with GM Gabuzyan, you’ll build your knowledge of this endgame.
Beyond the classic Queen vs Rook duel, you'll also discover scenarios like Queen vs Rook + pawn, Queen + pawn vs Rook + pawn. This will help you develop a complete understanding of these endings and feel at ease in these tricky situations.
Let’s get started!
