#1 Re7+ Kxe7 Kxc6 Kd8 a6 (Kb7 wins too) Kc8 a7 and the black King cannot pass (white King must be Gandalf) #2 Ra8 Rxh7 (or Kf7 h8=D Rxh8 Rxh8) Ra7+ ad lib Rxh7 I used the second one several times in five years, so yeah very useful I liked the animations, very cool !
As always ChessGeek always uploads improving content for us Chess Players. Also First puzzle 🧩 Re7+ , Kxe7 , Kxc5 and the black king is too far away and we simply push our pawns. Second puzzle 🧩 Ra1 ONLY MOVE, Cause we are attacking the rook here and if rook takes rook , we simply promote a queen. So if they play Rxh7 , we simply play Ra7+ winning the rook with a Laserbeam Tactic. The third puzzle 🧩 is sac the rook and fork the pieces. Thank you ChessGeek for always helping out Us to improve!
@@MisterCV_Chess True. In your proposition (Ra1), black could have just moved their Rook with check (Rh2+) then moved their King closer to white's pawn (KF7) and the skewer Rxh7 Ra7+ would not be gaining a Rook anymore because black's King would then be close enough to defend his Rook with Kg6 : it would technically be a draw
Thank you for this .... Its your choice, but am hoping you could do more of rook endgames, because i usually lose a lot even though i get the perception that am better in some positions...its quite very complicated
@@ChessGeek1 Then I may advise you to listen to the OST from Thunder Force IV. (old Sega Genesis game) The game itself is really cool btw, and animations and music were VERY good for that time. Search for the video "Genesis: Thunder Force IV Soundtrack", and I advise the first music (intro), then : _ at 8' _ around 14' _ at 23'40 _ at 27'20 (I love this one) _ at 33' _ at 35'50 (my second preferred) _ and pretty much everyone after that (especially 48'20 Stage 10 Boss and 53'25 Hard Mode Ending AND MY PREFERRED ONE 57'20 Staff Roll) At the end of the list, there is some interesting and/or strange and/or fun stuff in the "Omake" ones

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Your solution to puzzle 2 is incorrect. Close but not quite!
@@Pinf0rk oops you are right. Ra8 is the move. cause we are about to promote a queen. and if black takes our pawn we simply skewer the rook.

Rook endgames are definitely tough, I agree! I plan to make more rook endgame videos for sure!
Superb Rook Endgames. Waiting for more.
Thanks, I'll definitely make more!
I got every one of the 3 last puzzles but its because they're themes Ive already seen before

(especially 48'20 Stage 10 Boss
and 53'25 Hard Mode Ending
AND MY PREFERRED ONE 57'20 Staff Roll)
