It's a matter of techniquce

The importance of converting from an advantageous midgame to a winning endgame can't be emphasized enough. When you read books or analyze games, at some point you will encounter the phrase "the rest is a matter of technique". So where do I learn those "techniques"?

The more common ones in endgames are "opposition", "pawn squares", "pawn majority", "2 bishops mate" or "bishop and knight mate". But there are more complicated ones that require better piece coordination and more accurate play to be able to hold the win; such as 3 light pieces and some pawns versus Queen, Knight Bishop Rook vs Two Rooks. Is there somewhere, books/courses/lessons, where they talk about the more challenging techniques?

I was just giving examples lol. There are definitely more challenging techniques I don't know or could name off the top of my head.

100 Endgame Patterns You Must Know is pretty decent.

But sure, there are far more advanced patterns. Often these are so specific that they are best studied by going through SuperGMs' notable games on chessgames.com

Max Euwe has a good book on endgames too, and there's a book about Magnus' endgame technique as well. There's libraries, really.

Thank you! I'll try 100 Endgame Patterns. And is Max Euwe book named "The guide to chess endings"?

Yes that's the one!
He also has several other books - the puzzles are very advanced. Notable are 8-10 move stalemating patterns that you'll hardly ever encounter, but the world that opens up for you at GM level is amazing nonetheless.

this looks like an impossible endgame to win for black tho lmao

Ah cool, thank you so much again! I like reading into chess and now there's a good starting point!

You can learn technique from study of an endgame book, from study of grandmaster games,
or just by playing and learning from your own mistakes.
