I love how 90% of this comment section is pointing out Rxb7 at 36:56

This is the best R+P vs R lecture I've ever seen. It's because he explains CONCEPTS rather than specific moves.
Highly recommended!

Once I get my GM title, I'll be playing Rook to i7 for days 🤣

Well, at 36:56 were "Rd5 is the nicest" I bet Rxb7 is a shocker :-)

Great video by your club! Priceless 101 Rook endgame basics (summed up in a single video)

This was sooooo good. Exactly what I needed and he really does a great job explaining. He is a natural teacher!

This was instructive, despite Josh's goof at 36:56, missing Rxb7 draw. It seems he's lecturing a bunch of kids who barely know chess, though, because it takes them a while to even suggest decent moves, which slows down the instruction quite a bit.
But I'm grateful for these lectures.

Man! I never knew (KRPKR) endgames were so complicated. I knew that/ read that with an extra rook pawn, the enemy king should be great distances away from the promotoin square to force a win; but I knew nothing about the actual technique. And the actual technique is crazy.

amazing class. Very good teacher. Please get him again. Very claire ideas. excellent

Nooo, this ends too soon. I was waiting for the tests!

Great video! All you ever need to know about King, rook and pawn v king and rook!

I really like this lecture

awesome lessons, thank you josh

At 36:56 Rxb7 draws, it's not a win for white.

Very well done, thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for this video sir!!!! Because I did study these positions but then now I m thorough with it

8.36 minutes at that time we can also play e1=Q then Rook captures queen and then Kf7 then it's win because of double attack

48 minutes of pure gold, thank you!

11:04 you can just go Rg8 then move the king out of the way and promote.

Two of his introduction comments I struck me. First, that endgames—even really tough ones like Rook endings—can be learned at any level. But the second, even more interesting to me as a 1200 OTB player, is that there are many players, even up to "... 2000, 2200, even higher, still don't know a lot of their basic endgames". Whoah, wait a minute. So GM Friedel is saying that to reach a master level, you don't need to know your basic endgames. That's a huge. How are these players reaching 2000+? That statement is telling me that there are skills that are more important than basic endgames. It can't be tactics alone. Is it calculation? As a 1200 who would like to get to 1800+, I would really like to know the answer to that.
