Get instant access with 35% off ►https://ichs.co/2l90C7A Minor piece endgames are some of the most complex and important endings in chess. It comes down to the fundamental understanding of the “knight” and “bishop”, their strengths and limitations. Nothing shows the high class of a chess player as much as their ability to play the minor piece endings. Even Grandmasters have trouble playing some of these endgames correctly. When it comes to the club level, the situation becomes even worse. Many players don’t have a clear understanding of how to use the knights and bishops in the endgame. They often misplace their pieces, pick an incorrect plan or simply set themselves up for a failure... Of course, no one wants to lose a drawn position or miss out on a well-deserved win simply because you don’t know how to play out an endgame… You don’t want to blow your chances of getting the trophy, title or scoring an important victory. In this video, a preview of IM Andrey Ostrovskiy's Minor Piece Endgame Course, Andrey talks about knight endgames, and specifically about zugswangs - the concept of when a player must make a move, and by doing so loses the game. Unlike many other endgame books and courses, IM Ostrovskiy really takes time to explain each of the ideas in plain English, instead of giving zillions of different lines and variations. Andrey examines typical mistakes that both sides can make and gives you a clear and intuitive blueprint to follow. Another important thing to keep in mind… If you understand the minor piece endgames, it’s not just your endgame that will improve. By learning how minor pieces work together on a higher level, you will also improve your middlegame and tactics as well. ► Corresponding article from this video with extra goodies: **** https://ichs.co/2l9SFir **** ► Come checkout the iChess.net shop, we have the world’s largest collection of chess videos and chess courses: https://ichs.co/iChessShop ********** Other Videos from iChess ********** ► Subscribe to our main Youtube Channel: https://ichs.co/iChSubscribe ► Check out our Master Method video series: https://ichs.co/MasterMethod Checkout our most recent video: https://ichs.co/latest-chess-video ********** FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: *********** Facebook: https://ichs.co/iChessFB Twitter: https://ichs.co/iChessTwitter YouTube: https://ichs.co/iChSubscribe ********** Our Other YouTube Channels *********** iChess en español: https://ichs.co/iChessESP
