Stjepan: ”From this point, the winning technique is very very simple.” *proceeds to show about a ten move mating sequence including a very unintuitive Rb4 waiting move 😂

[@sharma_anish]

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Love your endgame playlist and practical endgames are just the perfect addition. Cheers from Canada!

HP: "and now the way to win is very simple" also HP: *shows the most difficult matting pattern of 15 moves with 12 possible variants i've ever seen* me: O_O

I'm into chess for several years now, subscribed to many chess channels, didn't see any previous content, but I have to say, this content is awesome! Just subscribed!

[@Krilehor22]

This must be your most instructive video ever. Thank you very much for putting the time into it!

[@etcetc5592]

Daily uploads are making my days, thanks! Excellent as usual

[@tommy_videoz]

Hi there - I like these endgame videos. Would like to see some more, for example rook against pieces, or queen against rook and pieces...

[@meemaurice]

very useful ✅ no BS ✅ clear explanation ✅ NOT easy✅ even the 2700s mess those up occasionally😌

[@baker217]

I really love your channel, you are a great teacher

[@saeedjj]

Thank you for answering my question on the Liches site

[@antonioandreacchio5324]

It’s a great video as always. Could you please tell me the website to training the positions and endgames please ? I appreciate

[@HangingPawns]

You can find it in the description!

[@roeydaz]

End games drive me nuts…..they are so difficult at my lowly level. But practice makes perfect and thanks for these wonderfully instructive end games and a way to practice them!

[@maestromind9244]

Thank you Great video

[@DoctaHobo]

Thank you for this man

[@talentedgambler7327]

Just what I need

[@aqikaxar9995]

basically, "passed pawn must be pushed" by agadmator really meant something

[@simonbelte]

Rook vs Queen: Philidor Position, rook+bishop vs. Rook: Philidor position, rook+pawn vs rook: Philidor position, 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6: Philidor defence. Just say, ah I no this. That's the philidor position. You might be right😄

[@cobalius]

noctie is nice. i tried it and played like 1350 the second time, almost 1700 the third time and 2250 in the fourth try. it's really not easy to play against an adaptive opponent.

[@NicoSeven7]

Thanks a lot.

[@HangingPawns]

Glad to help

[@kaseyperkins8]

At 6:00 why can't black play Kc8? There's no mate.

[@Alice58302]

Rb4 is the answer . Black can't check white nor prevent be6+ kd8 Rb8+ mate white wins

[@philgoncalves3742]

Did anyone create these endgames in Noctie for practice? If so, can you share?

[@jonathanscher]

That is an increadible information! Two things though... Could you organise it from most frequent to less frequent? Is it possible to have timestamps for all the endgames? Thank you for your content!

[@solongkingb3057]

My endgames are usually my king against a queen and a rook, how to draw?

[@L1na_PlayzOfficial]

Yeah not possible unless and until your opponent makes it a draw by stalemate or repetition. There’s no way you can force it.

[@theimmux3034]

timestamps would be appreciated

[@N_EmEsi_S]

We need more

[@shreyanbaishya6631]

Guys!! Lets build a community where we can practice these themes and play training games to do better in tournaments. Wht u guys think of this idea???

[@moracehann5857]

Most brilliant idea

[@adnanghaleb2196]

Thanks

[@bluefin.64]

It really is important to study essential theoretical endgames, and I like this list a lot (maybe R&B vs R is a bit uncommon and also tough for average players), except it's probably based on high level games. What to emphasize might be different for average players. Most introductory endgame materials seem to recommend studying pawn endgames first. FCE is generally held in high regard, though, so you probably can't go wrong following it. Nice to see you have another sponsor. Congrats.

[@MrTruke]

I like endgames.

[@KeepChessSimple]

Don't most endgames transpose to king and pawn endgames?

[@matthieu19]

No

[@matthieu19]

Not necessarily

[@salobied1899]

Timestamps

[@sebastianrohl3801]

Read that as (sarcastically)

[@ДмитрийГнатюк-з3ф]

That's really saturated content!

[@shuvro40]

Where is your microphone? Sounds horrible.

[@SomeGuyOutThere-i7g]

i think it sounds okay

[@KeepChessSimple]

I think too far away. 6-12 inches from mouth should be the distance.
