Practical Endgame Study 2

Lichess study: en.lichess.org...
In this class, given at the Awty International School (www.awty.org) on March 24, 2017, FM Warren Harper presents several practical endgame studies, highlighting minor pieces and passed pawns. I have edited out some of the time we were considering the positions, so you may want to pause the video to analyze before you hear the solutions.

Hey Warren, I was just curious how close are you to getting your international master tittle and do you ever think you'll reach grand master?

[@warrenh64]

Well, I have no IM norms, but I've also only played in two tournaments since 2008 where I could get one. I'm going to put forth some effort this year. I don't expect to reach GM as I can't commit to chess full time, but time will tell :-)

Warren Harper awesome I was just curious. You're clearly a strong player and I was just wondering were you were on your journey to the IM title. and also I'm an 18 who has been playing for almost two years now I try and play as much as possible but still feel like I'm not very good. Are there any suggestions you can make, that would help me make up for the "lost time" so to speak. I too one day hope to be a master at least national. I'm just hoping it's not to late for me.

Just the typical boiler-plate advice - read as much as you can, play serious (long time control) tournament games, tactics, etc. I will say that one of the biggest mistakes I see club players (

Warren Harper Thank you for the advice it really does mean alot. keep up the great work with Lucas, seriously one of my favorite youtube channels

Hi. Have to ask do you plan on doing a Lost Heir 3 Demon War gameplay / walkthrough continuing where you left off?

[@jeanlucas24]

Maybe. Unfortunately, since I included my email address in the second video, dozens of people have used those actual characters. Worse, they've saved their characters to my profile. As I result, I get "Stack overflow" errors every time I start a new playthrough to test different paths. I literally have to uninstall and reinstall the game for every playthrough. Considering I play each game dozens of times before making a video, this has become a huge pain. I may just start completely over at game 1, with a completely different email address. Frankly, I'm re-evaluating my preferred build anyway, because so far in game 3, I'm running into issues because magic and willpower are so low.

I can actually understand them using your save games, but why save theirs? Anyway will keep an eye out by the way your chess skill is very impressing.
