Just wondering why do you consider Krqkr(isn't this nearly always a simple win)
important and KrnKR (draw?) important? I would think KrpKr would be most
important followed by KPPKP . Also KQPKP . KnKpp and KBKpp ...

KrBKr might be drawish but is rumoured to be difficult to defend, but I would
think those I sugguest above are more important.

Some Rook endgames just don't seem as important.

Agreed.

Yes..This IMHO should have priority over KrbKr and KrNkr..Dispute the fact that
Rooks endgames are common..
