Yeah, i guess it's still an endgame though

Sort:

True, but that's pretty hard to come by 
Pawn vs entire army

Well, the 8 dark bishop mate is pretty hard.

Notice dark, meaning no light-squared bishops, by book it's not possible but it is if your opponent has a pawn on the board

Imagine having 8 dark squared bishops (24 point advantage) only for you not to win

Good idea, I might write a blog post about that sometime soon!
Hopefully you both realize entire books have been written on rook endgames, let alone articles.
That said, here an issue of Chess Horizons magazine from ~3.5 years ago with my article on the topic, including some thoughts on playing such endgames in time pressure.

I don't see that as a reason not to write about this topic, even if there are others who have written about it as well.
I always though the Lucena position was the hardest endgame I’ve ever seen
hardest checkmate, not endgame
