Knight vs Bishop Endgame. Knight is better in close position.

I might have missed one or both tactics in-game. Knowing there's a tactic to be found makes it easier.

What do you think of studying Endgame using database?

Avatar of MGleason

Not something I've tried. I haven't put much study into endgames. I should...

Avatar of play4fun64

You can study endgame you lost.

Avatar of MGleason

Yeah, although after the game is over you have lots of options - engine, endgame tablebase, etc.

Avatar of play4fun64

Endgame Table base requires an Excellent memory. In the database technique, you gain pattern recognition.
