Improve Your Endgame Technique: How to Set Your King and Rook

Dear Chess Friends!

Last week, we launched the first group lesson of my new course, Improve Your Endgame Technique, and I’d like to share a short but powerful clip from that session with you.

📽️ Watch this key moment on how to place your King and Rook in the endgame:

In this segment, we explored one of the most foundational concepts in practical endgames — correct piece placement, especially of your king and rook. Here's what we covered:

• Why activating your king early can tip the balance even in equal material situations
• How to centralize your rook for maximum control and activity
• The importance of identifying critical squares and key pawns that decide the battle

This is just one small taste of the larger course. Over the span of 12 structured lessons, we’re building a complete understanding of real-world endgame play — from theoretical draws to winning techniques in practical positions.

Missed the first class? Don’t worry.
You can still join us — and get full access to the recording, PGNs, and training material from all sessions.

Whether you're struggling to convert small advantages or don’t know what to do when the queens are off the board — this course is designed for you.

See you at the next lesson!
