After a long time, I decided to publish something from my games here! I look at the Kramnik-Anand game at the some time.

Somebody said "All rooks endgames are drawn". However - they are difficult too and you need to be cautious. In the next game, I was lucky for my oponent made a mistake when I was prepared for a draw.In the diagram, white just played her 38th move cxb3.

rook games are not always draw

Naravno da nisu, Nebojša, to se samo tako kaže. Ali često jesu. Ne sjećam se tko je autor izreke.

Of course not, it's only a proverb! But often they are. I don't remember who the author of the proverb is.

The quoted "All rooks endgames are drawn," is from Siegbert Tarrasch. Some, without finding a citation, believe it to be a humorous statement more likely to have been made by Savielly Tartakower. Tartakower did originate many chess sayings, but also repeated older ones. In any case, it appears to be a deliberately made and overstated case for the difficulty of winning many rook endgames. There are many such endings that the stronger side should not win, especially if the weaker side has an active rook.

thanks for the post: I always think R-endgames are one of the most interesting part of chess.

Everything depends on free pawn or possibility to make him.  It ties opponents king and rook. But, even then, we should try to go with our king forward, closed to pawns.
