- Did you know that one endgame comes up in more than 15% of all chess games?
Some endgames occur very frequently, and those are the ones we have to know best. I have listed 10 most common and most important chess endgames and tried to explain their basic ideas and principles.
Practice against Noctie here: noctie.ai/?aff...
The statistical data was taken from Karsten Müller and Frank Lamprecht's excellent "Fundamental Chess Endings" (Gambit Publications Ltd., 2001, 11-12)
10 most common endgames are (in descending order):
1. rook vs rook endgames 8.45%
2. rook & bishop vs rook & knight endgames 6.76
3. two rooks vs two rooks endgames 3.45
4. rook & bishop vs rook & bishop (s.c.) endgames 3.37
5. bishop vs knight endgames 3.29
6. rook & knight vs rook & knight endgames 3.09
7. king & pawns vs king & pawns endgames 2.87
8. rook & bishop vs rook & bishop (o.c.) endgames 1.92
9. queen vs queen endgames 1.87
10. rook & bishop vs rook endgames 1.77
Rook and minor piece vs rook and minor piece endgames come up in more than 15% of all chess games played! They've been divided into separate endgames above to make things clearer.

I'm into chess for several years now, subscribed to many chess channels, didn't see any previous content, but I have to say, this content is awesome!
Just subscribed!
This must be your most instructive video ever. Thank you very much for putting the time into it!
It really is important to study essential theoretical endgames, and I like this list a lot (maybe R&B vs R is a bit uncommon and also tough for average players), except it's probably based on high level games. What to emphasize might be different for average players. Most introductory endgame materials seem to recommend studying pawn endgames first. FCE is generally held in high regard, though, so you probably can't go wrong following it.
Nice to see you have another sponsor. Congrats.
very useful ✅
no BS ✅
clear explanation ✅
NOT easy✅
even the 2700s mess those up occasionally😌
Hi there - I like these endgame videos. Would like to see some more, for example rook against pieces, or queen against rook and pieces...
Thank you for answering my question on the Liches site
That is an increadible information! Two things though...
Could you organise it from most frequent to less frequent?
Is it possible to have timestamps for all the endgames?
Thank you for your content!
I really love your channel, you are a great teacher
End games drive me nuts…..they are so difficult at my lowly level. But practice makes perfect and thanks for these wonderfully instructive end games and a way to practice them!
It’s a great video as always. Could you please tell me the website to training the positions and endgames please ? I appreciate
You can find it in the description!
Thank you
Great video
Just what I need
timestamps would be appreciated
At 6:00 why can't black play Kc8? There's no mate.
Rb4 is the answer . Black can't check white nor prevent be6+ kd8 Rb8+ mate white wins
Thank you for this man
Rook vs Queen: Philidor Position, rook+bishop vs. Rook: Philidor position, rook+pawn vs rook: Philidor position, 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6: Philidor defence. Just say, ah I no this. That's the philidor position. You might be right😄
My endgames are usually my king against a queen and a rook, how to draw?
Yeah not possible unless and until your opponent makes it a draw by stalemate or repetition. There’s no way you can force it.
Guys!! Lets build a community where we can practice these themes and play training games to do better in tournaments. Wht u guys think of this idea???
Most brilliant idea
Thanks
I like endgames.
Don't most endgames transpose to king and pawn endgames?
No
Not necessarily
Timestamps
Read that as (sarcastically)
That's really saturated content!
Where is your microphone? Sounds horrible.
i think it sounds okay
I think too far away. 6-12 inches from mouth should be the distance.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Love your endgame playlist and practical endgames are just the perfect addition. Cheers from Canada!
Daily uploads are making my days, thanks! Excellent as usual
basically, "passed pawn must be pushed" by agadmator really meant something
Did anyone create these endgames in Noctie for practice? If so, can you share?
noctie is nice. i tried it and played like 1350 the second time, almost 1700 the third time and 2250 in the fourth try. it's really not easy to play against an adaptive opponent.
Thanks a lot.
Glad to help
