Is Rook and Knight vs Rook endgame, without pawns, drawn?
In most cases, it is.
But there are winning positions for the attacking side!
And if you don’t know the right technique hold, you could make mistakes and lose a drawn position.
See moreSince these endgames happen in the late stage of a game, almost always in time trouble, you can easily miss your chances if you don’t know what to do.
So in this course with GM Gabuzyan, you’ll discover the winning technique and strategy, the defensive strategy and technique along with important positions in the Rook + Knight vs Rook endgame.
That’s not all. You’ll also discover positions where both sides have a few pawns on the same flank.
Do pawns increase the winning chances? Yes!
But does the defensive side have resources to save the game?
Let’s explore and find out!
Below are the positions from the course:

I think there is a reason why every single ChessMood course I have ever seen has an average rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It is because every course is so well thought out, the people making the videos are just so charming, and unlike arguably every single chess site, every one of their videos is helpful! Amazing endgame course.
