What kind of advice does anyone have on the endgame?

to me..my endgame is all about counting...counting the pawns,the piece,the moves,time,and the squares to which the passed will take to become queen,

this is also the best time to show how strong your king is.
at that time if youyr queen is gone, the king takes the cener stage and runs the show

Also dont always depend on youre king because you might stale mate him. Use minor pieces if you have them too as youre advantage. And watch out for knight vs bishop bishop of opposite color and queen vs two rooks.
I hear 2 rooks are better than a lone queen. How?
mondy707
maybe because a queen is a 9 points piece but 2 rooks are 10 points, plus u may block the king from going anywhere else than the row u want when u have 2 rooks!!
Thiers a way to grab a queen with two rooks. Its a tacticle match, if I could I'll post a game where two rooks beat one queen.

Advice: Get your King active and centralised, once its attackers are depleted. Marshall your forces to escort the prize pawn to Queendom - it can sometimes be a suicide mission behind enemy lines. Kill any pawn that tries to sneak through. Celebrate!!
Pegrin
Apart from general principles (e.g., use your King if the Queens are off the board), there are many specific positions that have traps for someone trying to think them through for the first time. Play some Endgame Simulations. If you have trouble, look at the Videos of Endgame Studies.
