The second volume of John Nunn's major two-volume work on practical endgames, focused on rook endings.

Rook endgames are the most common and important category of practical endgames, and this volume gives them the deep treatment they deserve. Nunn also covers endings with rooks and minor pieces – a rich strategic territory that is universally recognized as vital for chess mastery, yet neglected in the existing literature. He identifies new and important motifs that recur in over-the-board play, corrects significant amounts of previously published analysis, and explains the ideas behind even the most complex variations in words rather than just lines. Dr John Nunn is a grandmaster, four-time Olympiad gold medallist and three-time World Chess Solving Champion. His writing has won 'Book of the Year' awards in several countries.
