Very nice motivation to learn more about the endgame. Well presented!

Thank you so much. As I watched these videos I gained a more complete understanding as to why I do many on the things I do in my openings. I often developed my pieces but lost sight of an overall strategy in my game and found my self unsure of what to do in the mid-game. Almost all of my chess knowledge up until now was based on bobby fisher's book, bobby fisher teaches chess that I read as a child. Now at age 30 my chess game hasn't evolved since. And even the lessons from that book could have probably use some review. Now after watching these videos I feel I have a concrete understanding of chess and a foundation for learning more advanced concepts. I can't wait!

All I can say is I'm so glad I found this site. I can't believe how many videos and training is offered. Rensch is the man. Thanks for all the valuable info.

Your journey continues today! IM Rensch leads us into the final stage of chess with a few goals in mind: Understand the power and important role your King plays in the endgame; recognize and execute the power of your passed pawns; understand that in all "roughly equal" endgames, those two factors will often dictate your results. Oh, and push, push, push your passed pawns!

Daniel has played competitive chess since the age of 10. At age 14, he earned the status of U.S.C.F. National Master, an achievement that was a record for Arizona chess players at the time. He was ranked in the Top 10 for his age in the United States every year from the age of 12 - 21years old, and at one point he was the highest rated 19-year old in the country. He earned the IM title at age 23. As a Chess Coach/Trainer, Daniel has developed multiple State and National Champions. Recently, he has cut back his teaching duties significantly to focus on the growth of Chess.com and ChessKid.com, and to strive towards the GM title.
