Description:

"Nunn's excellent explanations and the huge amount of interesting material sustains the reader's interest. Rook and Pawn v Rook endings frequently occur, and so knowledge of them is quite invaluable. Excellent value for money... the complete truth about the ending of Rook and Pawn v Rook" - Richard Palliser, HULL CHESS CLUB MAGAZINE. "I am delighted to recommend GM Dr John Nunn's Secrets of Rook Endings. The superb new 352-page edition by GAMBIT Publications has 32 pages more than the first version in 1992, and it's cheaper too at a bargain price of only 14.99!" - Paul Motwani, THE SCOTSMAN "I am sure that in fifty years' time Secrets of Rook Endings will be regarded as one of the great classics of the twentieth century. It is as close as any book can ever realistically come to perfection on its subject." - Julian Hodgson, BRITISH CHESS MAGAZINE

One cannot know enough about rook endings - being that they are the most common in chess. Study rook endings - and you will find yourself deliberately creating 'rooks and pawns' endings in your games - to your enjoyment and the discomfiture of your opponents (as they lose).

recommended for all my students.
