EASY ENDGAMES??

From my understanding, endgames can be hard and easy. What is the most non-frustrating endgame puzzle to work on? (This question is for all of you people above the rating of 1400.)

I have not even mastered the Checkmates section.

I have not even mastered the Checkmates section.

The drills and endgame sections offer many possibilities.

The new endgames section is fun but can be very frustrating.

The basic checkmates are part of it.

Is that your way of saying they are easy? I haven't tried it since the update, but using my few puzzles per day on stuff I'm not ready for seems like a waste.

No, I wasn't saying they were easy. I tried one this morning. It is a series of five challenges relating to bishops. The goal is to get through all five without stopping.  I don't know if they count it as five or one. I got through two pretty well but I had to do the third one at least ten times before I got it. That meant I had to do the first two over each time and the computer didn't always play the same way.

I didn't get too frustrated but I was getting there.

What do you mean? This is like the hardest puzzle I've ever seen.

Lol

I personally need some endgame advice also. Whenever I come across a endgame puzzle I always either move a minor piece that doesn't need to be moved or triangulate my king wrong. I think this makes up the majority of the puzzles I get wrong.

Oh and actually one of the most hard endgames:

 

Queen vs rook (of course with the kings) but your opponent might blunder the rook and you can fork with the king.

Bishop and knight vs King

Queen versus rook and bishop (or knight)….

 

Yep of course in all sides there is a king lol
