kinda personal...dyt ?
What is your favorite endgame position
Sort:
No question about that
many rook ending positions are great to study from both sides the weaker for drawing chances and from stronger side to win
They include Lucena Philidor Passive rook position and Rook vs pawns on same side.
cjxchess17: Seems like my puzzle got an inspiration from Tim Krabbe's original from the early 70s.
1. e7 1...Kxf3 2. e8=R 2...Kg2 3. 0-0-0-0#

A slightly more complex puzzle of the same idea (mate in 3):
Tough the ultra long castling move is a joke - and was always known and intended as a joke - it is still a very good joke problem! All 3 castling mates are there in some variation: 0-0#, 0-0-0# and 0-0-0-0#.
Mate in two 😀

B N vs lone K is favorite checkmate but Lucena if we're just talking strictly endgames
You castle vertically with promoted rook to deliver mate in 2.
