Everyone looks at endgame with caution — it’s the last part of the game that might seem unessential. Many of the moves in the endgame look similar and very small. In this course we will learn to see the difference between them and how to calculate their value.
A few simple techniques — and you will stop treading water in the endgame and giving away your hard-won points left and right. Your endgame will not be the same anymore.
Suitable for: 14–3k. This course explains the basics of playing endgame but it can be also interesting for stronger SDK players.

This course took me a very long time to go through. I'm not very strong with endgames, so it definitely helped! There were some very difficult puzzles that I was stuck on for a long time. Really enjoyed it! A 2nd part of this with Vadim would be very welcome!
Frankly speaking, the course was quite difficult for me on one hand but I've learned a lot of end games tricks on the other. I would recommend the course. And will rewatch it myself to settle the information in my head.
The endgame course was excellent, fun, and full of practical techniques. The monkey joke was a highlight 😂. As constructive feedback, there were too many "What would you play?" questions before the concepts were explained. Important topics like half-point values, sente, gote, reverse sente, and double sente deserved more depth, as they're essential for understanding and evaluating endgames.
I seriously learned a lot of moves I didn't know about, and I didn't even think there was this kind of moves at the end of a game. I would totally recommend it.
Follow value section is too confusing. We assume that white don't play there and then later the concept of 50 50 make it unnecessary complicated. Why we don't assume white to not capture as well? or why white don't play to protect some points at first... And the point count when white moves somewhere else why it doesn't count? if white choose to play outside the move should >= the value of it? :((
Fantastic, structured approach on the endgame.
Good balance of valuable lessons but not to mathematical
Fantastic.
This is amazing... I am not done but I can already tell this is an amazing course. Now I won't lose 30 points
this course made me TOO good at endgame 😀 now most of my games i am losing most of the game and then win in the endgame.
great course, worth a proper rewatch!
great course
A good blend of challenge and insight. Well definitely watch again.
Ik loved the part on 1,2 and 3 line moves. Will certainly watch again!
Endgame is the hardest part. Vadim really simplify it, but it’s still challenging! Quizzes are very difficult but give a lot of opportunity for learning the content of the course. I think this one could be watched two or three times, and I would still be integrating new skills! Great stuff!
Once again, a great content. Thank you a lot for this course.
opened my eyes to many standard things needed to be considered in the endgame
Outstanding course, lots of knowledge to practice over and over again - you guys need to create an alarm, so I can come back to this course in a couple of months!
Excellent overview of the endgame - highly recommended.
Nice one!
