Thank you Anna for these amazing lessons!

Sweet annotation

[@Supercladding]

She is the most professional teacher I see on line!

[@ReachingHigher001]

@@Supercladding Chess Vibes, too.

[@moosewild4239]

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.

[@PaulaBean]

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

[@Marvelmind_]

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

[@perpetualbystander4516]

Great instructional endgame video. 👌Would love to see more endgame examples with other pieces involved. 😊

[@thomasdalton1508]

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

[@LunaTuna]

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

[@shared-value]

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 ;- )

[@larsqvist6566]

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

[@jeffquerner6076]

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 !

[@TheDMFW62]

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.

[@davidmartin7163]

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!

[@subscrieber2692]

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

[@eddarby469]

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.

[@ymgabaldon]

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

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

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

[@blopacerezo9116]

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

[@walterwadlow9438]

Your really clear explanations make these videos great!

[@bigbadwolf837]

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

[@Volcanic47]

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.

[@willdubois]

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!

[@RbAgsts718]

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.

[@TTM9691]

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

[@xescllabres1327]

Genial video, Anna. Muchas gracias!

[@79-souravsutradhar53]

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

[@MaruShawnx]

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.

[@lornakcindespire671]

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

[@larryhon]

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

[@nathandl7x]

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

[@KentJohnson123]

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!

[@SINQUEFIELD83]

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.

[@melykek]

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!

[@amazingcato5315]

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.

[@joeremus9039]

Thanks Anna. Please show us more end game analysis.

[@wayneborkovich3460]

Thank you, your videos are very helpful.

[@Matteus605]

Thank you for the lesson, Anna!

[@friscoliv]

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

[@drkshr4803]

Well organized material, thank you Anna.

[@UOUPv2]

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.

[@rubensepulveda8830]

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

[@cyin974]

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

[@shared-value]

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

[@bobbyhernandez5227]

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.

[@RichiRichi]

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

[@MrMbrownjr]

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

[@thibautmairesse1374]

Great video! Thanks for sharing these useful concepts 🙏🏻

[@johncody9924]

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

[@johngillespie4931]

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

[@richardsrensen4219]

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

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

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'

[@pawnpusher]

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

[@richardpringle7515]

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!

[@TheBlackSheepDiaries]

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!

[@elasticharmony]

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

[@dismian7]

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

[@viperhd70]

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.

[@norbertdrust9009]

Great end game strategy! I needed this lesson!!

[@Chris.M]

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

[@luciusverusluciusverus3082]

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

[@edwarddewit43]

Fantastic video! So clear and to the point.

[@GeorgeDole]

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

[@AndrewBrophy-Romans8.1]

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

[@MetalheadsReactToHipHop]

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

[@edvinasnarijauskas178]

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

[@npmerrill]

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

[@brianbennett2397]

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

[@kamilo034]

Im loving the content avalancha, great stuff Anna

[@colinjava8447]

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.

[@OrdinaryGuy1030]

please give us more endgames...very great lessons

[@Hailmich10]

Excellent! Thank You!

[@MetalheadsReactToHipHop]

This is helpful thank you!

[@BillHart_Family_Friends]

Wow! Excellent video. Thanks!

[@emanuelost8794]

This is such amazing content!

[@marcelineee86]

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

[@donovan2327]

Thanks, Anna! this helped a lot.

[@Randyrocker1]

Brilliant loved it, thanks!

[@markc8323]

Very helpful Anna. Excellent teaching.

[@rondid]

So helpful, thx Anna !

[@tkshots]

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

[@pinoalbero5781]

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

[@Alexei2539]

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.

[@yourguid]

great thks for yours video... very helpful

[@foobar5477]

thanks anna, love watching your videos

[@BassPhat]

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. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@NovaLand]

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.. :(

[@quill444]

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 -

[@SlayteHasntGotAnyComputer]

there are like 5 variations lmao that's why they learn it (I did)

[@tomc3422]

This is me hahahah

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

Most games do not end in a single pawn and opposing kings, but the player wants to at least get to the endgame in decent shape, so it doesn't really surprise me. If you don't learn the openings, you will be lost before ever getting to this point. I am not saying that a beginner shouldn't study basic endgames; they absolutely should, but you want to make sure you can get there.

[@thegreppie7282]

Pls more of it !!!

[@jaypolomsky2340]

Awesome, thanks!

[@jean-marcflouzat5012]

Thank you! More endings please!

[@robertoluccini1088]

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

[@torat_emet23]

Wow! Amazing and very important information, thanks!

[@FahadAli-ch2eg]

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!!

[@SuperCurious]

Thank you Anna. Solid content ❤

[@StephenRybacki]

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

[@HWLee-vu4hv]

Thanks for sharing

[@lionhaato]

Thank you Anna. we needed this.

[@jimgoshorn6182]

Thanks and please keep them coming

[@TaloraEngelberthina7]

Thank you. Please do the rest because I always have the other pieces and not the pawns in most of my games.

[@melvinaquino3273]

Great Lessons need it the 5 and Bonus

[@yt_bharat]

Box trick was amazing
