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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gambit Publications, LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039405850864,"sku":"9781906454234","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906454234_p0.jpg?v=1763616399","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906454234","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
