Simple Endgame

There has been many times when my opponent has had 2 pawns and a king versus my lonely king, yet they accidentally stalemate me! I’m here to show you the simple and effective way of deliver checkmate when you have the two extra pawns, enjoy!

Practice this simple puzzle, and even if you have 15 seconds you’ll be able to deliver checkmate!


Tutorial on how to do it, step by step

In this position you need to get your king closer to the pawns, and force the black king to slowly go back, until you hit the back rank. When the king is on a8 and your pawns are on the sixth rank, b7+ and a7+, sacrificing the pawn, allow you to promote to a queen with ease and finish the game

Enjoy your day, and never stalemate again in this position!

It’s just the cleanest way to in my opinion, but yeah there is, just don’t want anymore stalemates !
