Thank you Anna for these amazing lessons!

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

Thanks, Anna! Your educational videos are really accessible for beginners, which is much appreciated!

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.

You’re such a great teacher! I learned a lot from this lesson! ❤️

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 ;- )

Thank you, Anna! These videos are very helpful and instructive. I esp learned from the pawnbreaks. Please do more with and about pawnbreaks! 👍☺️

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.

This is exactly the type of content I've been looking for! Easy to understand explanation of endgame patterns. It would be really cool to see some of the things you mentioned towards the end as well, like knight / bishop endgames!

Great video! Your explanations were very clear and easy to understand. Also these are useful and practical endgames that will be encountered for sure. Thanks!

Thank you so much Anna! Very enlighting lesson! Keep em coming!!!

I love and appreciate this style you communicate well and have a grasp of whats useful for someone who wants to learn thank you 🙏

Absolutely fantastic videos. Thankyou. Find them really helpful. Keep up the good work🙂👍🏻

Great video. Definitely like to see more endgame theory with other pieces with pawns as I'm terrible at endgames. These tips should help improve so thanks.

Genial video, Anna. Muchas gracias!

Very Mature Anna well done. Thanks for showing me how to utilize king and separating pawn segment was good improvement strategy I learned from you.

Your really clear explanations make these videos great!

Muy interesante Anna. Estaría fenomenal si subieras algún ejemplo más de finales de peones.

Plz make more endgame strategies.. this really helps beginners like me

Hi really enjoyed your content. Any chance of doing a video on the Sicilian . The classical would be the best, but also any other styles would be welcomed. Thanks again.

Thank you for the amzing lesson. It is really useful for me. I am interessted in queen and rock and knight and bishop endgame:-))) All of that!

You have been making so many great videos lately, very helpful!

This was very understandable, easy to learn/see. Would love some bishop endgames next, I recall your mother gave you some theory on them with taking care of the diferent colored squares :D also, best outro ever XD

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.

Anna, Your videos are very instructive for beginners,intermediate players ! Although when I resume playing tournaments I will climb above 1900 and 2000 rating classes. You reminded me everyone must know and remember key fundamentals . Great job, Anna !

On my road of becoming the best player in the world (no), I would really appreciate any of your other videos on the theme.

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.

Well organized material, thank you Anna.

Thank you, Anna. I needed this video. You have clarified concepts I could not get my head around before! Now to put them into practice!

It's always amazing to see so many new players who don't even understand opposition and yet they're studying the variations of the Petrov's Defense! Thanks, Anna! 💗 - j q t -

Great Lesson Anna Thanks ! Almost felt like a live lesson ! Cool crisp and clear video layout too, very well done!! Please...More endgame lessons and history game example is very cool. Thanks :D. : fire &heart emoji'

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.

Thanks Anna. Please show us more end game analysis.

so simple yet i always missed it! i’m not aspiring to be a GM but i do enjoy playing & videos like this add another layer to implement & win when i have an advantage.

Great video! Thanks for sharing these useful concepts 🙏🏻

Thank you, your videos are very helpful.

Thank you, great video, I learned so much.😁

This has really helped me in endgames, thanks Anna, please make more of these videos we really need them, much love keep it up ❤️❤️❤️🥰

Spending lots of time with this video! Awesome end game survival principles!

Thank you for the lesson, Anna!

Fantastic video! So clear and to the point.

Explained with great clarity thanks Anna. Happened upon your channel after a 25 year break from playing chess! Just started playing with friends again and your bitesize content is informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

Very instructive! I like the 3 pawns vs. 3 pawns example

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.

Very instructional video, thank you again. Would be interested in the different bare minimums required to win with end game positions.

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.

wow, the 3 pawn example was a thing of beauty also (and you too !)....thank you, great explanation an advice

Well done Anna excellent presentation, I really enjoyed your video, it is a real pleasure to learn from you !👍

I found this lesson to be fascinating! Thank you, Anna!

Great content Anna. I am around 2000, but still enjoyed our course. The bonus content was great!

thanks i would love if you made a video about R endgames !!

Very helpful Anna. Excellent teaching.

this is just wonderful, very instructive to show how to draw thus ssave yourself. I dont think Ive ever seen this before.

Great content. I don't usually study endgames, so this was a great lesson. Hope to see more endgame videos.

That was a great lesson, I definitely learned a lot. Thanks so much

Thank you for your videos Anna, you explain things so clearly!

Wow! Excellent video. Thanks!

Love this, thank you so much, you're an angel

can you please put all your tutorials in a playlist? thank you! I'm a huge fan.

Always use the box - got it. 🍻 Excellent material. The whole opposition dance is fascinating.

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.

Hey Anna, I love your videos but I'm an amateur at best. I float between 1000 and 1100. Your last video about endgame has already helped me win a few games. Thank you and best wishes as I watch this one!

Im loving the content avalancha, great stuff Anna

Usted ha explicado esto de una forma que ha sido muy fácil de entender.. gracias.

The first two endgames and the last one I had already seen before, but the others I hadn't. More endgame videos please!

The way you calculated the box is the best I've seen 😍 🙌 👌 well done 👏

Great video. I learned a lot today about having active Kings. Many thanks. 😅

I'm all for instructional lessons like this, thank you

thanks anna, love watching your videos

Awesome, thanks!

Excellent! Thank You!

This is such amazing content!

Brilliant loved it, thanks!

Thank you Anna! Your explanation is as beautiful as you are!

Wow! Amazing and very important information, thanks!

So helpful, thx Anna !

Can we stop a moment to say how much is beautiful when Anna says *José Raúl Capablanca*

Thanks, Anna! this helped a lot.

Great end game strategy! I needed this lesson!!

Would love to see a video from you about endgames involving another piece like a bishop or rook

great thks for yours video... very helpful

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!

This is one of the best, most intelligently taught, chess lessons I've had since I read Bobby Fischer's excellent little book which methodically teaches beginners to attack. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

that was good,i didn't know this before...and very well presented,well done

Thank you Anna. we needed this.

please give us more endgames...very great lessons

Pls more of it !!!

Hey Anna I came across your videos very randomly one day and I must say they are very detailed and helpful for beginners like me. Your videos have helped me improve my game and made me more aware of the silly mistakes every beginner tends to make!! I also watched your game with Magnus Carlsen, and I loved how you handled the pressure!! Thank you!!

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.. :(

Thanks and please keep them coming

You have a great teaching style for a patzer like me. Best KZfaqr out there for folks like us. Thank you Anna.

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.

This is invaluable. A really useful lesson for someone without an opportunity to learn the game with a chess teacher.

Thank you Anna. Solid content ❤

Thank you! More endings please!

This is helpful thank you!

Great Lessons need it the 5 and Bonus

You know she loves chess when she says “and now this position is beautiful”
