Hi,
I would like to work with the Team to develop our endgame. This will go a long way into improving our personal chess strength as well as our Team results.
Maybe a good place to start is with: Understanding The King
To start, let's take a look at a critically important endgame that happens a lot:
White wants to Queen and Black wants a draw.
Can White Improve his play? To understand we need to know the basic knowledge of Opposition.
Triangulation.
This is a good instructive puzzle. Newbies should notice that the king should stay in front of the king. They should also know that this next position is a draw for black or a win for white if it is the OPPONENT'S move. Try to move into this position in a king and pawn endgame.
Basic rule of maintaining the opposition, but its critical that this is understood.
