We discover that a staggering amount of previously published endgame analysis is simply wrong, and that many of the standard guidelines are at best partially true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second volume focuses on rook endgames - the most common and important category of practical endgames. Nunn also covers endings with rooks and minor pieces, a wide and rich area of strategic endgame play that is universally recognized as vital for chess mastery, but nevertheless neglected in chess literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Nunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190645423X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906454234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gambit Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.74w x 1.00d","brand":"John Nunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984470016255,"sku":"9781906454234","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f6e765d-8cd9-44b0-80bb-10138c93fbc8.jpg?v=1683272491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nunns-chess-endings-volume-2-john-nunn-9781906454234","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
