    About this video:
    The endgame in chess is when most of the pieces (Queens, Rooks, Knights, Bishops) have been traded off. At this point in a chess game there is usually only pawns, the kings, and maybe a few pieces on each side. There are three principles which are vital to understand if you want to be able to win the game at the endgame. The first is that you must activate your king. The second is that pawns are much more valuable than at the start of the game. And the third is that passed pawns are the most important of all. If you can turn a passed pawn into a queen, it will most surely mean victory at such a late stage in a chess game. In this video I cover all of the chess endgame principles so you can improve and win more games.

    5:32 White wins with b6!
    6:16 b6, threatening to capture both ways and so forcing a capture which doubles up the b pawns for black. Now you push the remaining pawn that is still blocked even after the capture as this forces the b7 pawn to capture to prevent promotiob while completely opening up the final pawn to be passed and now it pushes to become a queen ...

  • @johncarlisle621
    @johncarlisle621 2 роки тому +1

    Very instructive video, well presented, thank you. i noticed in the last example that if if black moves first, then he can prevent white from creating a passed pawn by playing b6 straight away. perhaps you could expand on this in a future video. thanks again

    • @FredPlanatia
      @FredPlanatia 2 роки тому

      Yeah, if black plays b6, white must capture (e.g. cxb) to prevent black from getting a passed pawn. After that black must capture the pawn on the b-file to prevent white from getting a passer. If you continue like that you end up with blocked pawns for both sides. Then it just depends whose king can help their pawn(s) promote.

  • @Life-Sky
    @Life-Sky 3 роки тому +2

    Wow very instructive! I find it easier to think pawn endgames as american football: You need to score a touchdown, your king is the protector, some pawns are blockers, others are the ones that deviate the defense and of course the runner!
