I played a game where my opponent couldn't win a rook and 6 vs rook and 1 against me. He lost 4 pawns, we traded rooks and it was and h and g vs h. Traded a pawn and it was just king and rook pawn v king and that's a super easy draw.

Who said that these 4 pawns are connected? You may have them scattered and no able to support each other, but then if you have such a position then it’s time for checkers, or even darts!

Just yesterday i plyed a rook and pawn vs rook endgame where i was up an h pawn, my king and rook were huddled together escorting the pawn. His king was close to my rook and everytime i pushed my pawn he had the chance to sac his rook for the pawn, i'd reapture with the king and he'd capture my rook with his king drawing the game. But he never saw it. I was hi-fiving myself the entire game for playing this brilliant endgame, but then i hit analysis and i was 😱😱

@@JSamad It's not so simple, since your opponent can blockade your pawns with his king and bishop. Or try to sacrifice his bishop for all of your pawns leaving you with no winning chances. Imo outta all the piece endgames - bishop endgames are the hardest in general. Cuz unlike queen, rook or knight endgames, one bishop alone only controls 32 squares of the chessboard max - aka 50% of the board Unlike the other pieces who can control any square on the board.

I’d love to hear him explain it more in depth but until that happens, there’s something called tablebase which is essentially a chess engine for the endgame although I find it to be more instructive than an engine for mid game as the moves generally make sense as much modern endgame strategy is engine backed anyways. Anyways, if you’re trying to study particular endgame scenarios, I suggest checking that out

I'm new to chess and I've been watching your videos to get started, I simply love the energy that you put in explaining moves and concepts, you build a very pleasant narrative that makes me involved in the game and you make it feel like I'm watching a real battle, keep it up!

18:10 Levi just pulled out the most extreme offense a chess player can hear.

Levy every time I search youtube for a specific chess tutorial I'm looking for, you pop up with the excellent content and helpful and entertaining attitude! Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed improving my game while watching your videos. And also loving your commentary vids and recaps! Thank you for all you do!

I know these videos aren't as high performing as some of your other ones but I'd just like to say thank you so much for this series it was very helpful and entertaining!

Man you explain things really well! Best explanation of these rook and pawn endings i've seen, especially the Lucena position!!

I made up my mind to get an endgame education. It’s a great area of the game to study. Levy’s training videos are so valuable toward expanding my capabilities. A great resource for subscribers.

Thank you so much Levy.. i have seen many vids on this topic over the years but i think this is the 1st time ive seen the tip about putting the King on the "short side".. very very helpful

This is the most helpful, practical endgame lesson I’ve watched. Many thanks.

The final example really brought together the reason and application for the process. Good video.

Wow, these endgame videos are really helpful. I always find some tricks i didn't know so far. Thanks! Keep Going. You're doing an awesome job!

This is the most instructive endgame video on the whole YT..Godbless your kind soul Levy!

Always wanted to learn these .. But always backed out . Thanks Levy!!

Dudeeee I watched this video yest night (IST) and just today applied some stuff and waiting moves and won a gameee...soo happy...it was soooo intense...Thank you so much Levy...you a gem

Hi Levy, I'm a new subscriber and I love your content. These endgame tutorials are masterpieces. Could you please count on doing all of the 100 endgames that we should know from that book you mentioned? Yeah, 100 is a lot, but we have time. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for posting. This is one of the best chess videos I ever watched! Exactly the type of video I have been looking for. I hate to go through my endgame books which takes so much time. Hopefully can see more in the future 🙏❤️😍

Omg I waited so long for this.Thank you again Levy, you're amazing 😀

Thanks for showing a more realistic position at the end rather than only working with the perfect theoretical examples.

Bizarre timing! I’ve had so many endgames exactly like this. Been stuck on 1200 for a few weeks. Thanks Levy!

I was about to ask for part 3. Good on you Gothamboi.

These endgame videos are my favorites on the channel, so helpful

I really like how you connect the different positions, e.g., Long-side defense vs. Lucena win (depending on who is on move).

Excellent video as always! Hoping soon to see a video about how to mate with 2 knights

Well explained! This is highly instructive because rook & pawn endgames are probably one of the most common endgames there are. Now - if I can just remember this stuff.

Levy you 're great! your videos are really helpfull and well explained!!

Love your videos Levy they are very informative and helpful. Any tips on what to do if your pieces are stuck and most moves will result in your piece getting captured?

First ever video of Levy I liked. Well explained.

Thanks, really need to work on my endgames. Had a terrifying game yesterday where I came back from losing to get king and queen vs king, backed him into a corner with almost no time on the clock, and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to mate without stalemate. Eventually got it, though not before my opponent asked "did you not do the drill" 😂

awesome vid levy thank you

I just played a game (2nd or 3rd one after watching this video) where I was able to get a draw with the rook vs rook and pawn. This really helped.

I really enjoy these videos. He is obviously great at teaching and explaining chess strategy and tactics. Gothamchess is about to gain another subscriber.

Great lesson i was waiting for this

Philidor defense; where you prevent mating by giving hits from the back

Can you make a video about how to deal with defeats? I generally feel angry or sad after lose a couple (or more...) of games. Great content again! Thanks!

Hopefully bishop endgames will be shown next since they are the second most common piece endgames after rook endgames imo.

Great content as always! I really noticed the audio ducking in this episode, it feels like every time you take a breath the entire video is muted

As a recently retired teacher, I show up in school 3 times a week to maintain a small chess club, It gives ideas for chess coaching, thanks

Top content! 👍 And your pronunciation of Lucena & Vancura matches mine... 😁

Just played game with this endgame! I was about to lose,i wanted to draw game,but i managed to win it,thank you so much !

Yay! Another awesome endgames video!

Keeping track of the awesome names of black and white in this series of tutorial ahahah

These are probably the most useful videos for me at the moment!

Gotham could you make an endgame turtorial of a rook vs 2 minor pieces (bishop and knight)? I always lose those no matter which side im on

Hey Levy A very needed video for a person of rating between 1000-1300

Hey Levy i was wondering if you could do a video on the grand prix attack.

Gotham you produce outstanding content. Keep hustling man

How do I do an endgame with a pawn vs a queen a rook and 3 pawns?

At this point it just feels like we're stealing from you lol, thank you levy.

Amazing vid ty Gothan

Rook endgame was the first thing I have learned in chess. Still amazed how easy it sometimes is to trick someone with a simple rook + king checkmate at 1100 even from the losing material standpoint.

It's crazy how 2 months in you have like triple the amount of subs you had 3months ago. Crazy grind and favorite chess channel 100%

Hey Gotham! Thanks for the video! For you, or anyone else in the comments, I had a question about getting my rook to the sixth rank in the Vancura position. I like drilling endgame exercises against the computer on chess.com, and when I plugged in the Vancura position, I found that white was refuting my attempts to get to the sixth rank. The way they would do this was after 1. ...Ra1, white would play Kf4, with the intention to reach the e5 square. After 2. Kf4, Rf1+ 3. Ke5, Rf6, white has a winning tactic with 4. Rg8+, Kxg8 5. Kxf6, and the pawn is free to queen. I wanted to know if giving white the extra tempo by playing something like 2. ...Rc1 in order to reach the 6th rank instead of checking to reach the sixth rank was okay. Thanks!

Hey Levy, I cant find the video/place where you recommend books for endgames/tactics. Which video was this, or could you simply recommend them once again?
