Editing Chess endgame (section)

====Quotation====
*"All rook and pawn endings are drawn."

The context of this quote shows it is a comment on the fact that a small advantage in a rook and pawn endgame is less likely to be converted into a win. Mark Dvoretsky said that the statement is "semi-joking, semi-serious".<ref>{{Harvcol|Dvoretsky|Yusupov|2008|p=159}}</ref> This quotation has variously been attributed to [[Savielly Tartakower]] and to [[Siegbert Tarrasch]]. Writers [[Victor Korchnoi]],<ref>{{Harvcol|Korchnoi|2002|p=29}}</ref> [[John Emms (chess player)|John Emms]],<ref>{{Harvcol|Emms|2008|p=41}}</ref> and [[James Howell (chess player)|James Howell]],<ref>{{Harvcol|Howell|1997|p=36}}</ref> attribute the quote to Tartakower, whereas Dvoretsky,<ref>{{Harvcol|Dvoretsky|2006|p=158}}</ref> [[Andrew Soltis]],<ref>{{Harvcol|Soltis|2003|p=52}}</ref> [[Karsten Müller]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chesscafe.com/text/mueller01.pdf|title=Endgame Corner|first=Karsten|last=Müller|year=2001|publisher=Chess Cafe}}</ref> and Kaufeld & Kern<ref>{{Harvcol|Kaufeld|Kern|2011|p=167}}</ref> attribute it to Tarrasch. [[John L. Watson|John Watson]] attributed to Tarrasch "by legend" and says that statistics do not support the statement.<ref>{{Harvcol|Watson|1998|pp=81–82}}</ref> [[Pal Benko|Benko]] wonders if it was due to [[Vasily Smyslov]].<ref>{{Harvcol|Benko|2007|p=186}}</ref> Attributing the quote to Tarrasch may be a result of confusion between this quote and the [[Tarrasch rule]] concerning rooks. The source of the quote is currently unresolved.<ref>Winter, Edward, [http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter45.html "Rook endgames"]&nbsp;– Chess Notes, Number 5498</ref> Benko noted that although the saying is usually said with tongue in cheek, it is truer in practice than one might think.<ref>{{Harvcol|Benko|2007|p=189}}</ref>
