When exchange up, it’s a good strategy to trade and go into an endgame.
This often leads to Rook vs Bishop endings.
And you’ll be surprised by how tricky they are.
Sometimes, your opponent can be down an exchange and a central pawn. It seems too big of a disadvantage.
But your opponent has serious chances of making a draw, if you don’t know the right technique.
See moreThere are also positions with equal pawns where one side can be an exchange up, and the game is completely drawn!
In this course, GM Gabuzyan will show you the most important theoretical positions of Rook vs Bishop endgames.
There will be quizzes and tests to reinforce what you learn.
Studying this will help you play the Rook vs Bishop endgame battle better.
