But I think it is very dependant on the board! Also, the two rooks take a lot of skill to use properly. For a very contemporary demonstration of the power of the rooks, look at this Kramnik vs Leko match from the recent WC: www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1306138 (you'll probably have to copy & paste the URL rather than clicking it directly due to a quirk of the way these forums handle URLs) Good luck in your studies, ~ Stephen / pandemona |
