Nice Endgame Concept. There is surprisingly an overwhelming amount of strategies and techniques in Rook vs Rook endgames. There is so much to talk about it. I am always surprised and happy when I learn something new about it.
Praggnanandhaa and other young GMs probably don't need books because their coaches are the authors of the books people read .

Yes, that was one of a few things I forgot to mention during the video. For those without coaches, books really are an invaluable resource.
The thing is at the end of the day chess is chess so doesn't matter if its in a physical book or not. Also the concepts of classic books can often be condensed down/better communicated in the modern age. The sheer ability to play a tone of games and be able to analyse them immediately is probably the biggest difference between old and new school chess
