It appears that he does not use engines to check his work. A cursory glance at the Typical Rook Endings book revealed serious problems on the positions I chose at random. Certainly there is much wisdom there, but there's no excuse for not checking your work in a book series that aims at encyclopedic status. I just relooked at my copy of Mastering essential rook endgames. I have seen some weird editing errors. For example, there is Chapter 9 and Chapter 11. But no Chapter 10

Leon_Trotsky wrote on 05/16/19 at 06:44:24: I was thinking of reading ECE Rook Endings and ECE Pawn Endings from end to begin, but it looks like very much work. That's probably been done before. You could try it, and let us know if it was worth it. But I thought those were just reference works.
