Want a higher rating? Get better at rook endgames! · Road to GM, Game 287

Rook endgames are by far the most important type of endgame, and are often decided by pure calculation. As opposed to minor piece endgames, where strategy and schematic thinking can be the most important factors, in rook endgames it's about concrete lines. This game is a perfect example of just how complex a rook endgame can be, even though it seems easily winning at first glance.
