Rook endgames can be really tricky and when you go into the endgame with a pawn down, you need the ultimate defensive skills to make the best of the position. It was the eighteenth round of the Satty Zhuldyz Chess Festival Blitz 2023, GM Boris Gelfand (2601) and GM Arjun Erigaisi (2737) faced each other in an exciting encounter. Watch the video to see what happened.

It could be a draw in the end if boris, could have taken the pawn by rook???
A very fine effort by both players!
9:57 ig here the engine says win for white because of f5 and then f6, not sure tho
Chess is a young person's game.
Разве не проводилась пешка по теории !?
11:43 easy part? just e6? takes takes with the pawn? then e7? and check mate?
12:40 Gelfand should have eaten black pawn instead of advancing his pawn…😊
Arjun despite couple of good games this tournament with Gelfand and Gukesh, is going through tough times. He peaked around 2735 sometime during Dubai open last year. Now he is at 2693 in live rating. I hope its not motivation that prevents him from maximizing his potential in classical games. He should otherwise be a top 10 player. I wish @chessbaseindia would focus on what is ailing as well instead of just talking as if everything is kosher for these players. Nihal Sarin is the other player who looked India's best junior back in 2019 but is stuck at 2650-70 levels for a long time. Pragg also has been in 2600 since Jan 2020. Though he had a good Online chess in 2022 and played few tournaments well, I am not seeing him progress to next level. Gukesh is the only one committed to classical and I see him progress towards 2750 this year. Hopefully he qualifies for candidates next year.
Uu
Wooooow
गजब मैच था, और ब्लैक साइड से तो प्रोपर थ्रिल और गूसबंप फील हुआ 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️💖💞
🎉🎉😮😮
Time to review endgames, Boris? 😀
Could have just taken the pawn back and that's an easy win
Respect, a high level technique.
Someone look at left hand of boris gelfand how he plays with the piece
This is far from being a DEFENSIVE MASTERCLASS, Borris could have easily won if he played accurately.
How is a theortical draw anyone can draw in a rook endgames a defensive masterclass? 🤣 what are you 800?
Gelfand congratulations 👏
in 3:53 I've had this idea to sac the rook to d8, recapture Rxd8, Kd8, Qxd8, Bb7, Rb8…is this correct, hoping a 1k elo would comment
Very poor technique of two players in the endgame🙃
Nice match ❤
