Doesn't arise that often, but is it just me, or are such endings difficult?

Actually I find them to be slightly easier than 1 rook each + pawns. If you want to understand 1 rook + pawn vrs rook study the lucena and phildor positions to start with then realize you barely know anything about such positions.

In short rook + pawn are some of the most dificult endings around.

Thx for the replies. Yes, w/pawns remaining.

zebano - Thx for confirmation of my suspicion. I find such endings very difficult of prosecution.
