Lucena Position? Philidor Position?
Endgame names?
Sort:
Some famous endgames have names, I think.
Endgames are most frequently referenced by the pieces on the board (I think) - for example, K+R vs. K. You can find examples here on the web site.
Come on, there are tons of endgame names. Off the top of my head Luceana, Philidor, Vancura, Centurini, Del Rio, etc.......
There are so many names of openings and opening variations that it's hard to count!
But...
Why not name endgames?
Over a few games, one might notice reoccuring endgames that appear often enough to deserve a name. The endgame might have certain characteristics and a set of moves to win/draw that endgame. Positions do not have to be perfectly identical, but same enough that the same winning strategy applies.
