Why urgent?

Also, what endgames to you already know?

Your forum thread is like someone getting a Driver's License and shouting that you urgently need to drive a racecar. I'm sure myself and others can offer some useful help for you, but it would help to know what you already know and why you want to learn urgently.

Ur king has to be in front of the pawn, and if you don’t have opposition, it’s a draw

Thanks everyone😊!!

@Alexander29114 has some good links. All of those pawn endings come down to this core concept of Opposition and the Key Squares for this endgame. In fact, I made a video on this a while ago which may help you if you struggle on any of those practices:

It is also important to know how to checkmate with a lone Queen and also how to checkmate with a lone Rook. I have videos on these checkmates as well too.

Having an a/h pawn is most likely a draw

The first things you should know are how to deliver basic piece checkmates (KR v. K), (KQ vs. K), (KRR v. KR), and so on.

After that, learn about king and pawn endgames (KP v. K), (KPP v. KP), etc.

Then, you can get into the King, Pawn, and Piece endings.

Arguably, the most important of these to learn are twofold:

The Lucena Position

and

The Philidor position.

There are countless resources on the internet that teach these two important endgames - and it would take me too long to explain the common strategy for each of these. But they're both extremely important and valuable to learn.

Look them up. Learn them to the best of your ability. Understanding these two endgames will be useful knowledge, for the rest of your chess-playing life.

Concentrate mostly on two plans:

1. Push your passed pawns
2. Attack opponent's weak pawns
