Description:
This course will help you understand what to do when two pawns are left on the board.It is a logical continuation of the course I dedicated to a one-pawn endgame, as well as the Understanding Chess Endgames | Two pawns. Part 1 I checked all the books on pawn endgames that I studied myself and selected all the important positions for you.I also added some of the positions that, in my view, were missing from the books I studied.I dedicated Part 1 of the series to all the relevant positions when the two pawns are standing on the same file or the files next to one another. In other words, we did not really have any passed pawns.This course fills that gap. However, the problem with the passed pawns is that they can be promoted to a queen! :-)That is why I am starting the course with the queen endgames. Only when you know what to do with the queens you will know what to do with your pawns.You will deliver checkmates, you will survive against the queen using stalemates. You will use beautiful chess geometry (not mathematical geometry) to catch the passed pawn two moves away from your king!You will understand the hardest pawn endgame that I have ever solved. It will be a culmination of the ideas you will learn in this course. The beauty of the puzzle is that it contains only two kings and two pawns. And yet, it is filled with a lot of ideas from all the courses I dedicated to pawns. You will also get interactive access to all the positions described in the course on the free (and ad-free) website (lichess) where you will be able to analyze the positions online. This will deepen your understanding of endgames in general.Many of the principles and ideas taught in the course apply to endgames with many more pieces and pawns on the chessboard.The knowledge you will get from this course you will be able to use in any endgame you encounter!Learn and Master Pawn Endgames (Two Pawns | Part 2) with a Successful GrandmasterLearn what to do with your passed pawn and with your opponent's passed pawnStudy how to win with the queen against the pawnFind out which pawns can hold a draw against the queenAnticipate your opponent's actions to win the gameWin in queen endgames by winning the queen or giving checkmateLearn to use the principles of a square, shouldering, helping from the side, stalemate, and many othersDiscover the brilliant Reti principle which violates the rules of geometryThis course will enhance your understanding of the fascinating world of chess endgames.The course consists of 9 sections.Section 1 | Introduction: You will learn what this course is all about.
