    Yes, I like these instructional videos. The 'below 800' was interesting too! Can you make some more?

  • @moosewild4239
    @moosewild4239 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Very clear explanations. Definitely do all the other pieces. It would make a nice complete reference guide. Thanks for the time you put in in your videos.

    Great instructional endgame video. 👌Would love to see more endgame examples with other pieces involved. 😊

    Great choice for starting Endgame lessons.
    Opposition
    Distance Opposition
    Diagonal Opposition
    Long Distance Opposition
    The Square of the Pawn
    Rook Pawn exception
    Pawns separated by one file
    Three Pawns against Three
    An illustration of why bishops are better than knights in open positions, rook mating patterns, queen mating patterns, delivering mate with two bishops, (maybe) delivering mate with bishop and knight (I forget that exercise), why you can't mate with two knights, how to save an endgame with a minor piece sacrifice, and the rook vs bishop endgame.
    Also, there is a situation where the knight pawn is a draw, correct?
    Keep going. You're doing a fine job.

    thank you.....I've been playing chess a long time, and have seen pawn endgame videos, even the "opposition" concept....but it was never really labeled or explained as such....I now know how to deal with "opposition" from both offensive and defensive situations....thank you again ;- )

  • @TheDMFW62
    @TheDMFW62 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good lessons, thanks. I've been playing chess long enough to know I *should* have all these ideas firmly established in my head but I'm also aware that the end game is one of my weaknesses. It was only the first two lessons (which were very well explained) that I fully knew before watching. Lessons three, four and five were concepts I'd seen but hadn't really learnt properly. This systematic analysis will definitely help me to remember the principles behind these positions.

    The box can also be drawn by drawing a diagonal towards the king from the pawn. I feel like that's an easier way to think of it.

  • @amazingcato5315
    @amazingcato5315 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I knew about the "box", the 3P vs 3P and KP vs K but didn't know the term "opposition". Thank you for the refresher course! And including the exceptions of P-Square-P and rook file pawns.

    also, best outro ever XD

  • @viperhd70
    @viperhd70 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm amazed I still know these end games. I haven't played chess in 20+ years and did some studying as a teen. Somehow the notions of the 'square' (don't think I ever saw it called the 'box') and 'opposition' must have stuck with me forever. I always loved studying end games a lot more than openings, probably because the latter is much more pure memorization.

  • @SINQUEFIELD83
    @SINQUEFIELD83 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for showing me the box! I am not very experienced in this area, so I am hesitant to explore different positions. Your approach in helping me has encourged me to improve my skills. I'm sure After a little practice, I'll have the skills and confidence to take control from any position.

    @colinjava8447 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you say the king goes one step back in a different file 7:08, I think you could just say to place the king where it can't be put in opposition, so that's why you don't play Kc7 (cause of Kc5) even though Kc7 appears safest.

    5:13 actually once White's king gets to the 6th rank, he is winning. You won't need frontal opposition after that (you only need it for ranks 5 and lower and the pawn not being on the a or h files). c5 (instead of Kc6) Kd8 c6 Kc8 c7 Kb7 Kc7.

      @eclecticexplorer7828 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most games do not end in a single pawn and opposing kings, but the player wants to at least get to the endgame in decent shape, so it doesn't really surprise me. If you don't learn the openings, you will be lost before ever getting to this point. I am not saying that a beginner shouldn't study basic endgames; they absolutely should, but you want to make sure you can get there.

    I'm a glad beginner that enjoyed your videos, starting watching yesterday =) My problem is in the end games when i have a bishop and a queen or something, or a rook.. but I just don't know how to get a check mate.. THAT is what my problem is.. it seems i just can't get to the finishing blow :( i can't really manage to triangulate and corner the enemy, but they always get away.. :(

  • @TFPMadcow
    @TFPMadcow ปีที่แล้ว

    In your first position, since the pawn is 4 rows away from promotion, the square is a 4x4 square. Just suggesting a way to simplify the definition. Same for the a-pawn endgame.

  • @nosywendigo592
    @nosywendigo592 ปีที่แล้ว

    Capablanca has a great book called Chess Fundamentals. What you did was the first in Capablanca's book.
    In my recent game nearing 450 ELO (trying to raise my rating), I lost my rook due to tunnel vision and lack of board vision. I had around five pawns at the time. My opponent had one pawn that was stuck at a5, mine at a4. Two pawns were lodged against black on d5, both at d3 and d4. The other pawn was at g5 against g6 black pawn. My king at the time was at f4. The enemy king was at h7 due to my rook at a7.
    I moved the king around killing two of the black pawns on d5 and g6. I fried up 3 pawns then the enemy king almost got my rook so I moved the rook to h7. I promoved the king up to d6 with the two at d6 and d7. The enemy king got the rook then locked e file to prevent double pawn promotion. I never moved the king or the two pawns on purpose and moved g6, g7, and I was almost there.
    The opponent requested a draw and I declined. I won this game fair and square so he resigned.
    Capablanca does a great job explaining those fundamentals and so did you!
