The practical rook endings include examples from the specialists such as Capablanca, Rubinstein, Smyslov and Botvinnik.

The field of studies features such giants of research as Nikolay Grigoriev, Andre Cheron and Nikolay Kopaev. Without them, the theory of rook endgames would not be so advanced as it is nowadays.
