How to Improve Chess Endgames ♟️
Most beginners are afraid of endgames. Rather than afraid, they are mostly clueless about endgames. If you misplay the opening you get a chance in the middle game, if you make mistakes in the middle game, you can make a comeback in the endgame, but if you mess up in an endgame, it’s almost over!
So now I present a few ideas on how you can improve your endgame.
Theoretical books
Endgame contains a lot of theoretical knowledge, and it is better that you use books to study these lessons on your own. Start with some basic theoretical books like 100 endgames you must know, or Silman’s endgame course. These books will boost your endgame knowledge.
Practical books
Books like Endgame strategy are based on planning in the endgame and also consist of positions from actual games. Here the author focuses more on planning and practicing positions that frequently occur in endgames.
Analyzing master-level games
I remember at my initial stages in chess, my coach used to show me endgames with precise technique and I used to get fascinated by the GMs.
Practice partners
Once you try your hand at these books, get one of your friends who has a good feel for endgames, He/She can be your practice partner.
Analyzing your games with strong players
Strong players generally have a feel of what can go wrong in an endgame. So they easily figure out what can be done and what needs to be prevented.
