Endgame for a beginner
Sort:
Hello Everyone I’m new at chess and I’ve always had problems at the end of a chess game and end up losing because of pressure of losing pieces, any tips or suggestions I can while playing an endgame and helping me have an advantage against my opponent
Learn the basic endgames?( KQ vs K, KR vs K,KP vs K) These are what I call basic...

Make sure you learn basic checkmating methods, and master mating with K+Q and K+R
In the list of your games, there is no endgame loss. Only wins and quick losses, going back 9 months.

Hi,
Endgame is good practice for learning how to play active and accurately. It also allows you to better understand how pieces work together, controlling key squares, and my favorite, pawn structure and pawn play. At your level, your best return on chess improvement for time invested is going to be focusing more on learning to protect your pieces and spotting under defended pieces of your opponents. The most important endgame knowledge you need to know at your level is
1) How to checkmate with king and queen and king and rook
2) How to promote a pawn with the king assisting against opponents king and when you can’t force a promotion in those positions
3) The concept of passed pawn and protected passed pawn and when it matters
4) The concept of Triangulation, how it works and when it matters
5) The concept of the Square of the Pawn, how it works and when it matters
Most of your games should either end before the endgame or one side has a significant if not overwhelming advantage that’ll decide the endgame with little need of endgame knowledge/technique. However learning the knowledge above will help your chess play in both the endgame and even in some cases the middlegame and perhaps give you more confidence in the endgame should you reach it. Cheers!
