Each drill could probably fill a chapter in an endgame book. The logical conclusion then is to buy an endgame book. I have Silman's Complete Endgame Course and it seems to do the trick. Good luck!

I'm having troubles with "Rook vs Bishop: A Typical Win". It is a draw and I lost 1 hour trying to force the king to the corner, which it's impossible. I was then consulting an engine 3200 and still couldn't do it, so the design of the drill is wrong.
The drills are not pre-defined replies for the weaker side, and you just play against an engine. It's a forced win for white from the starting position (mate in 26). However, if you used another engine to try and solve it, without an endgame tablebase, it may not be able to solve it correctly or may take a significant amount of time to find the winning line.
Hello everyone.
Can you suggest plans on how to win some drills?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
(Please note, the idea of this post is not just saying "Tablebase solution is:", the idea is suggesting plans or technique or strategy)
