learning endgames are hard and I probably would've made the same mistakes.
i think its best to start with the basics(pawn endgames, queen mate, QvR, defending BRvQ) you could use drills or YT to learn them

The thing you needed to notice in that endgame was that since your bishop only controlled white squares, there was a danger that White would set up a successful blockade on the dark squares, and you would never be able to advance your pawns. And that's exactly what happened! Simply 45...e5! would have prevented White from advancing Kf4 and getting control of the e5 square
Hi everyone. I've been constantly studying chess for the past couple of months, reading books, doing chess.com lessons, and practicing a lot (I know I'm still a beginner, however). However, I feel I'm ruining a lot of endgames, despite having more material than my opponents.
I'd really appreciate if some more experienced player could check on the following game and give me some feedback or suggestion on how to improve such endgame.
I feel quite frustrated because I ruined my game with the move 45 (which was, indeed, a blunder, according to the engine).
(A good reference for learning endgame - for beginners - would be amazing - either books/courses/anything)
