thanks again Grandmaster

Good video! Thanks!

16...Kh8 looks more promising than 16...Ra7 based on the above statistics.

my notes from this video

• Typical Melikset
  
  • when falling behind positionally, he resorts to simplication and transposes the position to the endgame.

• Knowing how to defend K+R vs. K+R+B can save many games. 

• keep the king close to the center;
  
  • if you get pushed to the side, head to the coner opposite to the B color.
  • In general, keep your pieces on the opposite color of the B.
  • Use your R to give checks, pins (B to K) and to cut off the K
  • Survive 50 moves and declare the draw.

• Notice how Melikset Khachiyan wins the a6-P... Excellent Endgame technique

• In the end game, always keep your R as flexible as possible. If deciding the side of the board to place your R, chose the side where the R can check the K without pieces interposing.

Interesting endgame lecture.  Thanks

Instructive and good board positions to study.

Great stuff patient defence all the way. I would have collapsed or gone to a dark corner square and got mated!

lol

' It's, it's hard to stop the pawns; they just coming to kill you '

That made me laugh so much

Another absolutely fantastic lecture from one of my favourite video authors. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this study...
