The most important things you need to know about the endgame.
April 2021
(111)

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.

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? :((

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!

Very good refreshment of knowledge, even for a 1-2K player. We can be so wrong in our endgame management if we are not focused enough

I love that even in the videos the lesson is structured in "Problem" format allowing for so much essential reading practice. Vadim eloquently conveys the depth of the endgame in a clear manner, while giving all the foundational knowledge needed to calculate point values and to sequence of moves to keep initiative. I like that he points out many of the key traps us kyus often fall into.
