It might seem a little bit odd at first, but endgames are the key backbone to chess, not openings. After all, openings are essentially endgames on a different plane, they just have more pieces and require more memorization. Calculation is still th...
Being back after a long time, I must say that I am thoroughly exhausted and found the only moment of free time I had to give all of you a video. Summer was full of volunteer work, and so the only relief time I have is the time when school is the l...
Yesterday, I played in my first OTB (Over the Board) tournament in two-and-a-half years. As OTB tournaments were popping up after the pandemic lockdown, I had started to work on chess again. Due to the relentless load of schoolwork, I have been un...

Haven't came back in a long time for a good reason! I've been working secretly (not even on chess.com) on a blogging project. I've spent a lot of time on chess.com every single day ever since quarantine began here in Canada (March 2020). Chess.com...

Out of Openings, Middlegames and Endgames, most people would say that Endgames are the hardest to play. This is why I will now shift my focus from openings to endgames. I haven't made a video in a long time because I am working on my birthday po...

Hello everyone. I don't have a lot of time these days, but I do have friends and clubs. I am "active" but blogging is REALLY high time-consuming and it requires a lot of work. With school these days, I will be getting busy. Many of you may know ...
Ok the title kinda hinted at everything. Great! If you are here, you most likely have: 1. Followed me! (Great!) 2. Subscribed to my channel! (Even Better!) 3. Found the title intriguing! (Amazing!!) I won't bother you with a lot. Just this...
Hello guys! The thumbnail gave away everything in the video! Just kidding. But still, hop along. Below is the no-looking zone. The thumbnail is all you need to read, unless you can't read. Some people, like me, learn much better through med...

Hey mates! I'm continuing my 1970 Palma de Mallorca Interzonal Saga for Fischer, this game against Reshevsky. It was a brilliancy by Fischer, who played a 99.2 accuracy in this game and obliterated his fellow American. If you haven't checked o...
Hey chess geeks! Today I'm sharing the next game of Fischer in the 1970 Palma de Mallorca Interzonal Super Tournament. This game is Round 2 of the 23 games played, and it was played against Vasily Smyslov, most of you should know about him. Th...
One of the most famous endgames EVER played is the Fischer endgame, or the Rook and Bishop vs Rook and Knight endgame. Why is it called the Fischer endgame? Probably because Robert James Fischer is SO good at using it . He is able to convert s...
