'a useless rook is worse than a knight in an endgame'
*fax*

[darkredd]

until you try to checkmate with a king and a knight

[GMHowitzer]

“A knight is better then a rook in an endgame” *proceeds to show a position where white has 3 passed pawns and the rook is paralyzed on the other side of the board*

[btdplayer]

what i hear:plant it right back on c4
what my granpa hears:plant c4

[stoicquotes]

what if your enemy plays rook c1 and then rook e1?

[Nodulated]

I was in a endgame down the exchange my opponent has 2 rooks i have a rook and a knight but i hae 2 extra pawn so its even material i was in a winning position according to the engine. But i ended up losing on time i have 10 seconds left when my opponent has 3 minutes :(

[garradon]

This video only proves that its a winning endgame if you have more pawns

[zenuss.]

black can sack the rook by capturing the knight which frees up its black pawn which will win the pawn race and check the white king

Rook zugzwangs: Im about to end this mans whole career.

The e pawn has seen some things if it made it to the endgame

[ShaemiII]

The king doesn’t have to move to that square, it can go to b7 instead

[alextonev]

I mean this is also a position where white has 2 pass pawns, while black has only stuck pawns but we just gonna ignore that

[microwave]

i forget where i saw it but there was a position where a knight controlled all of a rooks squares except 1 (the one was controlled by a pawn) because of fork

[jackli]

thats not a knight for a rook, thats a knight and 3 passed pawns for a rook

[hi-ouix]

Sometimes a knight and 2 extra pawns are better than a rook in the endgame

[theoneclutchgod]

If the knight coordinates in a good way with the pawns then and only then are they better than a rook

[Arsoonist]

Hey what if the rook went to the first rank would it be a zugzwang?

[divyanshusingh]

The person with knight is just very lucky

Its only better because he has 2 extra passed pawns.

The Rook can actually get in the e file bc rook C1 pawn e7 and rook E1 stops pawn to e8
