Minev Nikolay. A Practical Guide to Rook Endgames
Russell Enterprises, 2004. — 115 p. — ISBN: 1-888690-22-4.
Yasser Seirawan on a blitz-encounter with Garry Kasparov in Moscow in 2002:
”Within seconds he had found the exact position on our board, showed the analysis and exclaimed, “Minev!”
Well, what to say? I was all prepared to challenge the highest-rated player in history to continue the game, but I wasn’t prepared to challenge Minev. We re-set the pieces for the next game.”
This little book, which evidently Kasparov treasures, holds all the important rook endgame positions with relatively few pieces, explained in both words and variations.
