What endgames should I learn after the basic ones? For example, I've learnt K+Q vs K, K+P vs K, K+Q vs K+P, K+2B vs K, K+N+B vs K. What endgames do i learn next?

Pawn endgames

Take Dvoretsky book. You will start with pawn endgames and then further often endgames.

Dang Leto, throw him into the fire. Great book but man those exercises are crazy.

The book gives possibility to start playing endgames at God level. The choice is always here: do it in 1 year or stay at ordinary level as usual.

I recommend Irving Chernev’s Practical Chess Endings. It is much simpler than the Dvoretsky book. It presents examples in a developmental way and takes the reader from beginning to advanced positions. I think it is a much better instructional book than many endgame books (e.g., Fine, Keres) that are more reference than teaching books.

Definitely practice rook endgames because it's very common and complicated.
