Dreev University - Rook Endgames
GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso
GM Alexey Dreev and GM Pier Luigi Basso are launching a brand-new series: Dreev University.
Every month on the 21st, they will release a structured course designed to elevate your middlegame and endgame understanding. Each course follows a carefully crafted educational path, ensuring consistent, practical improvement.
The first course in this series dives deep into one of the most essential yet misunderstood areas of chess: rook endgames.
INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHORS
🔥 Rook Endgames Will Never Be the Same
You’ve studied rook endgames before. You’ve seen elite grandmasters struggle in “simple” positions. And yet, even with tablebases and theory, mistakes keep happening.
Why?
Because understanding is different from memorization. Traditional endgame training focuses too much on theory and too little on real decision-making.
We’re here to change that.
In 100 Moves to 2700, we laid the foundation for a new way of training—practical, structured, and designed for real improvement. This course is the next step in that journey, introducing something never seen before in endgame theory.
💥 Introducing the Consulting Check – A Practical Concept That Changes the Game
For the first time in chess literature, we present the Consulting Check, a deep resource overlooked in classical endgame theory. Learning to recognize and apply this idea will sharpen your rook endgame intuition and give you a serious edge over your opponents.
🚀 What Makes This Course Different?
🔹 Tablebase Endgames (Section 1) – We cut through the noise and focus on the most instructive six-piece rook endgames, showing exactly when they are drawn or winning.
🔹 Practical Endgames (Section 2) – 24 deeply instructive positions, featuring:
- 12 exclusive video lessons
- 12 exercises designed to make you think like an endgame expert
🔹 Beyond Theory—Building Practical Strength – This isn’t about memorization. It’s about learning how to think and play when it matters most.
💡 This is not just a course—it’s the key to playing rook endgames with confidence and precision.
Are you ready to stop guessing and start mastering rook endgames?
