Interesting and instructive as always. Great video series. I liked the clear examples of piece activity trumping material and pawn structure considerations in these endgames.

Dejan,
Thank you for another highly instructive video on endgames! Although I rarely find myself having the exact pawn structures you cover, most of the themes you discuss (e.g. activity of the pieces) naturally apply to other endgame positions, so these lectures have been very useful for knowing what positional ideas to consider while playing the endgame.

great display of rooks on open file, powerful.
by GM Dejan Bojkov
Today the "Towers of Power" have their say in the video series that has become the most in-depth look at the Spanish Endgame Pawn Structures on the internet! GM Dejan Bojkov enlightens further, stressing that the activity of the Rooks along the open files is much more important than the pawns themselves. Learn from more top Grandmaster games today, and enjoy these instructive examples of technique.
