RELEASE DESCRiPTiON:

Although the distribution of material with a rook and two
minor pieces against a rook and two minor pieces is a very
common one in practical play, there is very little
literature on the subject apart from that dealing with
questions relating to the bishop pair. This gap should be
plugged by the present DVD. The harmony and coordination of
the minor pieces, such as for example "the geometry of the
knight pair" constitute a subject which lends itself very
well to being examined in connection with rooks. Should the
knights be defending one another or standing side by side?
Other typical questions are: when is the combination
rook+bishop+knight superior to the trio of rook and 2
knights? When should we liquidate to an ending with rook and
minor piece against rook and minor piece, the sort of theme
dealt with in the 9th endgame DVD? What are the rules of
thumb and methods which we can deduce from this? For example
is a slight initiative even greater when there are a rook +
2 knights against a rook + 2 knights? In addition, attention
will be paid to the restricting the mobility of the knights
by means of Steinitz' restriction method and questions of
pawn handling such as Capablanca's rule. Some examples with
4 rooks are also considered so as to be able to examine a
question which is important in practical play: when to
exchange rooks. Also examined here in systematic fashion are
many aspects of piece coordination which are also important
in the middlegame and models are worked out to help you to
better assimilate the important question of harmony. Video
