eric rosen has such a friendlyy voice, combined with his competence and politeness, he should be considered the best chess teacher on the internet.

Comparing Rosen's lecture here with Friedel and Feingold, I like Rosen best. He tries to instruct more. Feingold just cracks a bunch of jokes and whizzes past important moves. Friedel tries to instruct, but sometimes makes fast moves, forgetting that his GM thinking is blowing past us. This is a really GOOD lecture on endgames!

This was a great lecture. It was presented clearly by an expert who obviously took the time to prepare.

I must admit sometimes I watch chess videos to get me in bed time mood.. but this one kept me awake!

Elegant, instructive, good rythm and dense. A lecture to review, study and gain real usefull knowledge along the board play. I got to say, this is as gold as Finegold. Or Yasser, Akobian, Johnathan in teaching level.

I like how the thumbnail has Eric Rosen drinking from his cup as if saying "Mhm, they did messed up gud."

absolutely fantastic!!!

37:55 My suggestion is to cry. White’s best move is to cry.

4 minutes in and he already fixed part of my game. I have been walking the king up next to the pawn and just trying to find a new tactic after each opposing move.

46:38 Also note that Qa4# requires you to move the queen over a shorter distance than Qb6# - and it ends the move closer to the clock!

I revisit this video every few months and I always fall into every trap.

Watched the whole vid. It's really good +1

One of the best endgames lectures I have ever seen... thank you so much Eric we love you

This the best I have ever seen--his calm voice makes this easy to understand.

I hope to see more lectures from IM Eric Rosen!!

Eric Rosen was soo good, please make more vids with him!

Fantastic video! I'm going to have to watch this multiple times. My only comment, as a beginner, is you used this odd sounding word quick quickly a lot and I kept missing it. Thanks to comments below I finally got it - zugzwang - just in case anyone else was wondering.

Of all the chess videos I’ve watched over KZfaq I really think this is the most useful one. There are so many videos regarding openings, traps and tricks. But if you’re playing someone around equal skill level you’ll eventually reach an end game. I think this would be the most practical place to start to study.

It's kind of cool to know he watched other videos before giving this lesson.

OH NO, my lecture! How did I miss this one?! Great, thanks!

Really, really good. These lectures are the best out there. Its à real grace that they are free.

Thanks man! These endgame techniques are really helpful. Studying these improved a lot of my chess. Cheers!

thank you for the lecture, it's very instructive

Extremely helpful, even for a CM, and even after four years ;-)

This is a GREAT video. Eric Rosen is a great teacher.

I've fallen behind on my TV show backlog because I cant stop watching Eric play on lichess or do lectures. Great stuff!

This was the best instructional chess video I have watched yet. Thank you.

Excellent video Eric. Your voice and examples are very clear, precise and instructive. Thank you.

It's interesting to see how i don't know anything about endgames...🤣😅

Hahahhaha he showed the Rosen trap lol

Thank you St Louis Chess Club, I've learnt so much from Eric Rosen's videos.

One of the best videos on this channel. Thank you Eric!!

Very instructive and well presented!

This video deserves all the praise it is getting. As a teacher I can say that in instructing chess principles Eric is great !

The last puzzle was really good

Superb endgame video, packed with lots of important content.

Very very nice lecture!!

A video more than worthy of my notebook. Well done Eric!

He has such a nice way to explain the basics.

A very instructive video....really helped me improve my endgame.. Thank you👍👍

This is a fabulous lecture. All of these positions are going into my computer for me to practice from both sides. I've run into about half of them in actual play.

This was very good. Could you please do more of these endgame studies? I'm weak here and can use the help.

Awesome way to explain!

Thank you very much for another great video!!

Great Content

Man I hope you teach for a living! You are awesome

wonderful!

I will have to watch this multiple times and have certainly saved it into a playlist for future reference.

Fantastic video. Thanks

Literally just used the last puzzle technique to win a game yesterday... Was looking over this and here it is?

These are super practical and fundamental endings to know. Thanks for the great content!

excellent lecture

Wonderful!

I love Ben Simon. Eric Rosen is my new favorite, though.

Amazing and instructive

By far the best video for novice endgame players like myself on the subject out there.

Thank you that was very helpful end enjoyable

This lecture is fantastic

I can say I have made each of these blunders. But now, I know better. Thanks, GM Eric.

awsome upload more videos of eric rosen please

Great lesson.

Great teacher

What a great teaching... awesome.. I also like eric simplicity..

Thanks a lot GM Rosen

This is really great information!!!

Great video!

very good, thanks!

thanks. great video!!

Very helpful Clare thank u

great job. thks

Thank you sir i learnt a lot from the End Game you explained thank a lot

Great stuff,Merci

Alert Alert Bros...great class as normal from GM Rosen...thanks always...

love this video . Thank you Eric Rosen sir, your topics are so handy, useful in daily online plays. thanks again_ lots of love from India.

Even as a 1700 in Blitz I almost never get a clean ending where one tempo decides on win or lose. It's always a positional or material advantage on the one side or the other. But I really love those clean endgames

another great vid +1

21:42 The same thing happens in the Bermuda Triangle as well, but at an infinite rate

Awesome !

I watched this after the Alina vs Rosen SCC match they had, it’s funny how Eric foreshadowed his stalemate tricks in this lesson

Im here learning because I feel humiliated after losing a king and pawn endgame where I knew it was a draw, I really hope this info sticks! Ive never had a game where I used triangulation to win and no doubt ive had a position where it was needed.

Very very good !

Nice presentation, Eric. I'm an advanced beginner (if such an oxymoronic thing exists). I increased my knowledge.

We're in the Endgame now!

What an amazing video, thanks Saint Louis Chess Club!

could you please give again the address of the basic rook endings you pointed to! ?Great lecture, thanks!!

I learn a lot from your lectures, thank you!

very instructive!

The knight mate was the real cherry. Anyways the new boy in town is really doing a great JOB. :p

I really like Eric Rosen's method of instruction. He has a calm way of teaching, and chess is king, whereas a few other IM's and GM's think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread!

24:48 Ya! U need 2 check the king 2 force him to block his own pawn, where u bring ur king in 2 help. Rinse & Repeat. Only works with b, d, e, & g pawns. The c+f pawns are a draw 1 square from promotion, because he can indirectly defend the pawn from the corner, (stalemate) as well as the normal direct defense squares, which means that he doesn't need to block the pawn. The a+h pawns are also a draw because blocking pawn from b/g file check threatens 2 be stalemated. :) (1 square from queen ofc) The exception though is at 26:02 where ya must play Qd6 2 make progress.

First comment of 2020. Eric is still teaching alot.

Eric Rosen sir you are great.

Thank you Rosen

I just won a king pawn endgame because of this video. I wouldn't known what to do had I not watched this video haha! Thanks Eric and SLCB!

Why would you want a 1 space gap in the king versus king and pawn? Kings can’t shake hands, so as long as your pawn is in your King’s radius, they are immortal. Why the 1 gap space, which endangers your pawn? Is it some sort of endgame gambit?

Vi el vídeo en 2 partes gracias por el final de damas y una pregunta en el problema si no toma al pasó que sucede

This was great video can sir you will make vedio on e4e5 line

45:00 minute mark went a little longer. The direct a8=Q Kxa8 followed by Kc7 is already mate in 3 as the c5 pawn prevents the stalemate.

Nice video! At 5:09, you should have mentioned the trap 1.g6+?? Kh8!! and draws since 2.Kf7 or 2.g7+ Kg8 3.Kg6 is stalemate. And at 35:37 it's not really zugzwang since White would lose even if he could pass.
