GM Gabuzyan Hovhannes
Rook vs Knight endgames.
It looks like a one-sided battle. The Rook, with its reputation as the endgame hero and the higher-value piece, should dominate.
However, don’t underestimate the Knight!
There are positions it defends even when both sides have a pawn each.
And if you give the Knight two or more pawns, they could overpower the Rook!
In this course, GM Gabuzyan covers the most important theoretical positions of the Rook vs. Knight endgame.
Below are the positions from the course:
You’ll learn about winning strategies with the Rook, defensive techniques with the Knight, evaluating positions when both sides have an equal number of pawns on a flank, and more!
Let’s dive in and get started!

- The winning technique with a Rook + pawn vs Knight.
- The positions when a Knight can hold a draw against a Rook + pawn.
