Can someone recommend a good source for the study of this particular 3 vs. 4 Pawns Rook endgame (articles, books which cover it) ?
Last year I had to defend this 3-4 rook endgame (pawns on one wing) twice in correspondence chess (not from the Tarrasch but from Semi-Tarrasch and English).
I have allmost all important endgame tomes on my book shelf (Awerbach, ECE, Dvoretsky, Müller, Nunn, Speelman etc.) but the most useful source in this case was really
The Survival Guide to Rook Endings by John Emms (Gambit, 2nd edition 2008)! Very practical!
For playing these 4-3 rook endgame you have to know some things about 2-1 rook endgames (what is no problem in corr because of 7-stone-tablebases).
Regarding the Tarrasch book by Kotronias I‘m also very curious on his analysis of the Queen‘s Pawn Games: 2.Nf3 c5?! , 2.Bf4 c5! and 2.Bg5 f6! .
