Some people are more comfortable with pawn endgames, and some prefer to still have a piece around 👀

Rook endgames are more flexible, since even if I screw something up, I could still potentially draw the game.

In pawn endgames one mistake and the game is over

Rook endgame because it is easier and faster to checkmate and has fewer chances to draw. I am comfortable with pawn endgames, however, it has more chances to draw and the pawn can be a rook pawn, which is an automatic draw in most cases.

Does the question means what you prefer to play or prefer to learn? Either way, pawn endgames are much simplier and not as stressful as rook endgames.

I prefer pawn endgames becuase during rook endgames I always feel a bit jumpy that the rook and king can checkmate me.

I'd love to say pawn endgames but I just screw both of them up so much I just rather have a rook cry to be safe lmao

I like endgames where I have a rook and my opponent has a pawn

During a pawn endgame you HAVE to bring ur king out into danger and it really hard to manuever around a blockade of pawns, rooks are more manueverable and reliable.
