Games are often won—or lost—in the final moves. Endgame Essentials focuses on the critical phase of chess that many players neglect. This course equips students with the tools and knowledge to convert winning positions, hold difficult defenses, and understand the deeper principles of simplified play.

By mastering endgame fundamentals, players gain confidence and control when the board is nearly empty—but the stakes are high.

What you’ll learn:

  • King and pawn endings (opposition, triangulation, promotion)
  • Basic and advanced checkmates (king + rook, king + two bishops, etc.)
  • The power of zugzwang and distant opposition
  • How to activate the king as a weapon
  • Conversion techniques for material advantages
  • Transitioning from middlegame to endgame smoothly
