a question:why should i study Rook Endgames when i know damn well i almost never get that position in my games?

RemRus

Rook endings will appear damn often in your games.

If you feel it's unimportant, ignore them. That distant buzz you hear? It's your opponents counting their blessings.

I am not sure what the late IM Silman would have thought about current Lichess ratings, but my guess is that he would have thought it reasonable for you to work through pages 1-158 of Silman's Complete Endgame Course.

So many half and full points are lost in rook endgames!

I missed a draw in a rook endgame yesterday. Happens all the time.

You could also call it a reference. This format isn't entirely uncommon in forums.

I don't understand. Why is it that when I demonstrate my free developments, the moderators delete me as spam and advertising. Several times. And when a stranger posts links to someone else’s paid products, does this turn out to be a reference? For 5 years he played 1 game. He is not a chess player, he is an advertisement.
