The author sees the main purpose of his book as being to try and insire readers with a deep interest in rook endings, and thus to stimulate their own work in this field.
He promises that anyone who thoroughly masters the given material will raise his Elo rating by a hundred points, or perhaps even more! He begins with an ABC of rook endings, which provides an initiation for the inexperienced, and then deals with various typical positions, difficult to grasp theoretically, which he analyses precisely and in great depth.
Just how profound rook endings can be is shown especially by the author`s analysis of a famous ending from his World Championship Match with Karpov in Baguio 1978, which is a real treat for practical players of any standard.
