Need endgame help

Does anyone have any endgame advice? I really need help in pawn endgames.

😀

There aren't many basic tips for pawn endgames... mostly you need to calculate a lot.

Other than the basic stuff like activate your king as much as possible, and outside passers are used to lure the enemy king away.

- Activate your king

-Learn About Opposition and Triangulation

-Remember that the goal of the endgame is to win by promoting your pawns --- not ALL of them, but at least one

-Learn about the Rule of the Square

-Don't just use pawns to get them closer to promotion; use them to restrict the opposing kings' squares as well

- If you can, get a book about endgames (like 100 Endgames You Must Know or Silman's Complete Endgame Course) to learn from. I personally got the latter as I'm a beginner, and it's helped immensely!

Have a look at Chessable. There are some good free endgame courses that help with learning techniques. I use a combination of Silmans book and Chessable. The endgame lessons and drills on here are also useful.

chess.com has plenty of endgame lessons https://www.chess.com/lessons/understanding-endgames and drills https://www.chess.com/drills/endgame-fundamentals
They're essentially the same content as most beginning/intermediate endgame books/tutorials, since the fundamentals haven't changed in the last few hundred years

Chess.com has loads of endgame drills where you can play against all different levels of bots. If needed, they'll give you a hint on every move to make.

I'm glad you said that, because I got it but haven't read it yet.

Just learn basic positions, what so hard about endgames there’s less pieces to consider than middle game
