00:00Good afternoon, good evening, or good morning, depending on where you are in the world.
00:04We'd like to present to you a continuing series on the endgame.
00:08And before I start that, we'd like to thank all the people watching this live on Facebook.
00:13I do appreciate that.
00:16So what we're going to be doing is we're going to be talking about Rook vs Pawn ending.
00:23Now, what we're going to be talking about is different types of positions,
00:28why it's either winning or losing for the person with the Rook against the two Pawns.
00:35Now, the two Pawns are going to be on the same side of the board.
00:39And on top of that, they're going to be connected past Pawns on the Queen side.
00:45One is going to be on the 5th rank, and the other one is going to be on the 6th
00:48rank.
00:50With that said, let's start it.
00:53So what we're going to be doing is we're going to talk about how the person with the two Pawns
00:57can win.
00:58Versus the Rook.
00:59The important thing now is, first thing we want to do is look at the King positioning.
01:05Are the King close to the Pawns or are we from the Pawns?
01:07In this case, the person who is trying to push the Pawns, the opposing side that's trying to push the
01:14Pawns,
01:16right, the King is far away, just as the side that's trying to stop the King that's on the side
01:22that's trying to stop the Pawns,
01:25or the Pawns is far away.
01:28Also, our Rook is, as you can see, is on F1, also far away from the Pawns.
01:33The other thing noteworthy is that the Rook is not behind the Pawns, which is, from a defensive point of
01:39view,
01:39you want to be behind the Pawn, just like for the King, you want to be in front of the
01:44Pawn.
01:46Either whether you're pushing the Pawn or whether you're defending, both of you want to be in front of the
01:50Pawn,
01:50which prevents the Pawn from pushing, and also controls squares in front of it,
01:55so it can't move and ultimately can't clean.
01:58Okay, so, with White to move, which matters, because if it's Black to move,
02:05we'll be able to be, we'll be able to stop the Pawn.
02:10So, for example, I'll show you, suppose it's a Black to move, what he'll do is he'll play Rook to
02:15B1.
02:17Okay, so what's so great about that, right?
02:19Well, he can stop the Pawn from pushing.
02:23What it will do is, he'll play A7.
02:27After A7, right, he can play, for example,
02:35we'll take the Pawn, oh, sorry,
02:38we'll play Rook to B1.
02:39If he plays A7, we'll play Rook to A8, and after B6,
02:43bring our King closer.
02:46Now, with Black to play in this position,
02:49White may still be winning.
02:52However,
02:54White will want to be up the temple to be one square closer to Queen.
02:59So, with White to play in this position,
03:01of course, what he wants to do,
03:03he wants to be able to move both Pawns next to each other,
03:07so that way,
03:10when the Pawn on the base of the Pawn chain,
03:15we'll want to move first,
03:16because the one next to it will also move,
03:18sort of like a dance.
03:19They alternate both moving,
03:21and one protects the other.
03:23So, after B6,
03:25right,
03:26White could also turn into play A7,
03:28we play Rook A1,
03:30B6, Rook A6,
03:33right,
03:33B7 we take,
03:35and this will Queen.
03:36So, White will still win,
03:37but with B6,
03:39this is a cleaner way.
03:41After Rook to B1,
03:44right,
03:45so B6,
03:46so White to play with B6,
03:48Rook to B1,
03:50we place A7,
03:51right,
03:54so we've supported the Pawn,
03:56it's threatening to push.
03:57That means he can't take this Pawn on B6,
04:00because we have a Pawn so far advanced,
04:03all the way to the 7th rank,
04:04so that way,
04:05if he takes,
04:06of course,
04:08Queen.
04:09So, in this case,
04:10he plays Rook to B6,
04:11the Rook takes,
04:13B6,
04:13of course,
04:14Queens,
04:14so you can't do that.
04:16But let's say instead,
04:19after A7,
04:23what he will do instead,
04:24so,
04:25basically,
04:25what you want to do,
04:26is the one who's pushing the Pawn,
04:28is that look at both pushes.
04:29We look at A7,
04:30and we look at B7.
04:33Well,
04:33if you look at B7,
04:34what happens is,
04:36where the Pawn is already,
04:37the Rook is already behind the Pawn,
04:40that's not going to be as effective,
04:41because he can narrowly stop it,
04:43after he moves.
04:44Now,
04:44after B7,
04:46Rook B7,
04:46and A7,
04:47it turns out that,
04:49you can still Queen,
04:50because after Rook takes,
04:52he'll Queen anyway.
04:53As in,
04:53Rook takes B7,
04:54he'll still Queen.
04:56So,
04:57obviously,
04:58you don't want to play,
04:58Queens right away,
05:00because Rook takes,
05:01you push the Pawn,
05:02and then play Rook to A8.
05:03So,
05:04we want to see that B8 is,
05:07quite bad,
05:08and lose the Pawn,
05:09and then of course,
05:10from there,
05:12you can get to A8,
05:14and therefore,
05:17Black is winning,
05:18in that variation.
05:20So,
05:20when we look at it,
05:21we want to look at both possibilities.
05:23What are the two main possibilities?
05:24Okay.
05:25Possibility 1 is,
05:27pushing to A7,
05:28or possibility 2 is,
05:29pushing on B7.
05:31Well,
05:31because the Rook is,
05:32on the same file,
05:33as the Pawn on B6,
05:36right,
05:36you can't push the Pawn,
05:37to B7,
05:38so effectively.
05:40So,
05:40instead,
05:40we push the other Pawn on A7,
05:43notice that our King is over on H5,
05:45and cannot stop the Pawn.
05:47Ideally,
05:47you would like to place,
05:48the King over on B7,
05:51to blockade the B Pawn,
05:52and also prevent the other Pawn,
05:54on A7,
05:55from Queen.
05:56So,
05:57and so,
05:57he plays A7,
05:59and here,
06:00let's suppose he plays,
06:03Rook to A1.
06:05Well,
06:06after Rook A1,
06:07what do we do?
06:08We play B7,
06:09right?
06:11And then,
06:11if Queen's,
06:13sorry,
06:13excuse me,
06:14not Queen's,
06:15I mean,
06:16if he takes the Pawn,
06:17I mean,
06:18we're just gonna Queen,
06:20over on B8.
06:22And that will be winning,
06:23of course,
06:24for White.
06:25The point is,
06:25actually,
06:26the way it wins,
06:27but this is a cleaner way.
06:28What you want to do,
06:29when you look at these variations,
06:30you want to find the cleanest,
06:32and fastest way,
06:33to win.
06:34Preferably,
06:35with the least complications,
06:36as possible.
06:37Alright,
06:38so remember something.
06:40When you've got two far advanced pawns,
06:42and you're the one pushing,
06:44you want to be able to support both pawns' pushes.
06:47You want to be able to,
06:48you want to alternate which pawn moves,
06:51especially,
06:52where the Rook is behind one of the pawns,
06:55such as on B1 or A1,
06:57you want to move the opposite pawn.
07:04And also remember to look at both possibilities.
07:07Like,
07:07for example,
07:07in this case,
07:08do we play A7?
07:11Or do we play B6?
07:14What we want to do,
07:15is look at both possibilities,
07:16and then weigh them accordingly,
07:18and say,
07:19which one is better?
07:22If they both arrive to the same conclusion,
07:25what you want to do after that,
07:26is find out which one is easier to calculate.
07:29And then third thing,
07:30is what takes less time to calculate,
07:32depending on the format of the game that you're playing,
07:36and also how much time you have left in the clock.
07:40So,
07:41what we're going to do,
07:41is we're going to go to the next game.
07:42Now,
07:44for each one of these examples,
07:46I'm going to have,
07:48I'm going to have screenshots,
07:49where you'll be able to,
07:52practice the,
07:53actual solution,
07:55for the,
07:56the example,
07:57and I'll have that uploaded to my Instagram.
08:00So,
08:01what I'm going to do,
08:01is I'm going to go to our next example here.
08:03Now,
08:04here,
08:04this is black to play.
08:06Notice white is,
08:07has played KingH2,
08:11probably in the previous,
08:12this move.
08:14And the rook obviously has to move,
08:16otherwise,
08:16these pawns are just going to,
08:18go forward.
08:19Notice we have a similar type of position,
08:21except that,
08:22his king,
08:25his king is immediately attacking the rook,
08:27versus the rook before,
08:28was on F1.
08:29In this case,
08:29the rook is on G1.
08:31More than likely,
08:32he had just played,
08:34KingH2,
08:36more than likely,
08:37probably something like,
08:39either H3 to H2,
08:40or G3 to H2.
08:44So,
08:45probably check to the king,
08:46on G3,
08:47and then went to H2.
08:48That's probably what happened,
08:50just as a guess.
08:51So,
08:52here,
08:52in this case,
08:53what we want to do,
08:54is we want to look at,
08:55what are we aiming for?
08:57What we're aiming for,
08:59is this position here.
09:01Well,
09:01we've gotten rid of one of the pawns,
09:03and the rook is behind the pawn,
09:04and therefore,
09:05we can,
09:06already have,
09:07the result in mind,
09:08in advance,
09:09so we know what we're aiming for.
09:11So,
09:11when we play rook to A1 here,
09:13what we want to do,
09:14is say,
09:14okay,
09:14which pawn is more advanced,
09:17okay,
09:17that's the pawn on A6,
09:18versus the pawn on B5,
09:20so we want to put our rook behind that one.
09:23Okay,
09:25so,
09:25there's lots of options here.
09:28Okay,
09:29first,
09:29we look at the general idea.
09:31We want to move our king closer to the pawns,
09:33or do we want to move one of the pawns?
09:35Okay,
09:36so if I move our king closer,
09:39right,
09:40to G3,
09:42we want to,
09:43we want to understand that black,
09:45could continue on,
09:46with rook A5,
09:49right,
09:50he would push the pawn to B6,
09:52because he wants to run the pawn,
09:53all the way to A,
09:54to our excuse me,
09:55to B8.
09:56He'll take the pawn,
09:57and after B7,
09:58we'll get behind it,
09:59with the B6.
10:01Now that we see what we're aiming for,
10:03we want to make sure that this idea is correct.
10:06So we looked at possibility one for white,
10:08is king G3.
10:09You'll see that,
10:10actually loses,
10:11because it's,
10:11he loses both the pawns,
10:13and then it's rook and king against king,
10:15which is obviously dead lost for white.
10:18So we have to look at the second option.
10:20What about B6?
10:22Because clearly,
10:23to make any headway either,
10:24we have to move the king,
10:26right,
10:26after the rook has already moved,
10:28out of the lane,
10:28right,
10:29to A1.
10:31We have to understand that,
10:33there's only three ways to make headway.
10:35Push one of the pawns,
10:37or move the king.
10:39So,
10:40we either move the king to G3,
10:41to support the pawn push,
10:43or move one of the pawns,
10:44so it gets closer.
10:46Moving the pawns where they are,
10:47is not going to help.
10:49As we can see with,
10:52meaning keeping where they are,
10:53is not going to help,
10:54because you see with the last example,
10:56as the king went up,
10:57he immediately attacked the pawn.
10:59Notice,
10:59it's going to take two squares to queen,
11:01so,
11:02if he does,
11:03for example,
11:04move the piece,
11:05let's say he moves it to A7 instead,
11:08we're going to take,
11:09and then after he pushes,
11:10we just get in front of him.
11:12Notice,
11:12the other king cannot support the pawn,
11:14and therefore,
11:15black will be able to win the position.
11:18Alternatively,
11:19of course,
11:19after king F4,
11:20we're still going to take the pawn,
11:22and after A7,
11:24we're just going to get behind it,
11:25with rook A5,
11:26and black will play B7.
11:28So,
11:29after rook to A1,
11:31black will play,
11:32sorry,
11:32excuse me,
11:32white will play B6,
11:34as one option.
11:35I take,
11:36he plays B7,
11:37and I get behind it.
11:38Remember,
11:39I said defending rook,
11:40needs to get behind the pawn,
11:42not in front of it,
11:43usually,
11:43unless that's the only way,
11:44to stop it,
11:45of course.
11:46But ideally,
11:46yes,
11:47we want to get behind the pawn.
11:49And once you went from A6 to B6,
11:50to get behind the pawn,
11:52so if you tried the queen,
11:53we would just immediately take it.
11:55Now,
11:55after A7,
11:57we're immediately going to play rook takes A7.
12:00After B6,
12:01and rook B7,
12:03notice black has stopped the pawn.
12:05We notice that there's really only two,
12:07only two moves worth of white,
12:10on the white side,
12:11and you can play,
12:12either you move the pawn,
12:13to B6,
12:14or you move the pawn to A7.
12:16In both cases,
12:17loses,
12:17so,
12:18only other option is to try to move the king closer to the pawn,
12:22but in this case,
12:23it's too slow after King G7,
12:25you can immediately attack the pawn on B5.
12:29And,
12:32then we continue with a similar route.
12:35Well,
12:36we can do the same thing again.
12:38We notice that we,
12:39with G3,
12:40we're one square closer,
12:41but with,
12:42after the rook takes on on B5,
12:44we've cut off the king anyway.
12:46So,
12:46we notice that King F4 is not going to help us,
12:49because after we take the pawn,
12:50he's going to play A7,
12:51and then rook A5,
12:53we stop the pawn.
12:55Or,
12:56alternatively,
12:56you could push the pawn to A5,
12:58excuse me,
12:59to A7,
13:00and say,
13:00okay,
13:01now you can't take on B5,
13:02that's fine,
13:03because we'll take the pawn on B7 instead,
13:05and after B6,
13:06we'll play rook to B7.
13:08Notice,
13:08the king cannot come,
13:09on the next move,
13:10to get over to any of the corresponding squares,
13:13like to A5,
13:14B5,
13:14or C5.
13:16And also,
13:16of course,
13:17you cannot play,
13:19you cannot go,
13:20also,
13:21to C6,
13:22in which case,
13:23anyway,
13:24we'd sacrifice the rook for the pawn,
13:25and that would be a draw.
13:27Well,
13:27in this case,
13:28where black's playing for a win,
13:29we have to assure that,
13:30we can stop the pawn for one,
13:32and also,
13:32we can win the second,
13:34if you're going to win.
13:35For a draw,
13:36basically,
13:36what we would do is,
13:38we'd win,
13:39the first pawn,
13:40and then sacrifice the rook for the second pawn,
13:42if the king was,
13:43for example,
13:43went all the way to F4,
13:45excuse me,
13:46to C5.
13:47In this case,
13:48we know that,
13:49if we move back,
13:50he'll just play C6,
13:51C7,
13:52and we'll have to sacrifice,
13:53the rook for the pawn,
13:55which would be a dead draw.
13:56So,
13:57knowing that A7,
13:58and king F4,
13:59both don't work,
14:01for a similar reason,
14:03which is,
14:04of course,
14:04that the rook will take the pawn,
14:06well,
14:06different reasons,
14:07because A7,
14:08we take the pawn.
14:10King F4,
14:10we take the pawn.
14:11So,
14:11the similar reason,
14:12the reason is that,
14:13he loses the pawn.
14:16But,
14:16so,
14:16the only other move is,
14:18to make headway,
14:18is to,
14:19move one of the pawns,
14:21and move the king.
14:22Well,
14:22we move the one,
14:23farthest on to the opposite side of the board,
14:26which is farthest away from our king,
14:28so that would be our first,
14:29way of looking at it.
14:30And our second way of looking at it is,
14:32okay,
14:32after king of four,
14:33what happens?
14:35Well,
14:36we saw that he just takes the pawn,
14:38and when he advances the pawn,
14:39we get behind it,
14:40and stop it.
14:41So,
14:41his only other move is to move the B pawn up,
14:43either move the A pawn,
14:44the B pawn,
14:45or move the king.
14:46So,
14:46we move the A pawn up,
14:47that doesn't work.
14:48We move the king up,
14:49that doesn't work.
14:50Then,
14:51finally,
14:52our last option is to play B6.
14:54Okay,
14:55now after B6,
14:56I play Rook takes A6,
14:57B7,
14:58and then Rook to B6.
14:59Black has stopped the pawn.
15:02Notice that he was able,
15:05um,
15:06he was able to get behind the pawn in time,
15:09to stop the pawn.
15:10Now,
15:11some things to remember from this endgame.
15:13Besides king positioning,
15:15is we have to understand that,
15:16in this case,
15:19black actually got behind a different pawn,
15:21which is the A pawn,
15:23versus the other example was,
15:24it went behind the B pawn.
15:27Okay.
15:28Also,
15:29we noticed that,
15:30because there was limited possibility,
15:32it was easy for us to calculate it.
15:34The way that you calculate it,
15:36is you look at all the logical moves,
15:38compare all of them,
15:39and then ask yourself,
15:41which one is the best one?
15:43Okay.
15:44Also,
15:45considering the amount of time you have in the game as well,
15:47but the point is,
15:50you have to consider all of those three moves.
15:53Okay,
15:53so white,
15:54what white trying to do,
15:55is either move his king closer,
15:57the A or the B pawn,
15:58and then black says,
16:00okay,
16:00I'm going to stop that pawn from A6 from moving,
16:03because it's closest,
16:04the closest one to actually queen.
16:08And then,
16:08once we calculate that out,
16:10what we do is,
16:11we get in position,
16:12to attack the pawn on the base,
16:14we take it,
16:15and then we get behind the other pawn.
16:20So that's what you should remember.
16:22Remember,
16:22get behind the pawn,
16:24attack the base of the pawn,
16:26take the pawn,
16:27and get behind the other pawn.
16:30Or,
16:30if you can't get behind the pawn,
16:32get in front of the other pawn.
16:34That's what we should do.
16:36Let's go to the next example here.
16:39Now,
16:39in this case,
16:41the difference in the position,
16:44is that the rook is now,
16:45in front of those pawns,
16:48where he's on G8,
16:49instead of on G1.
16:52Notice here,
16:52because he's on G1,
16:54he can't immediately get to A1.
16:56And it's not the ideal situation,
16:58for the rook,
16:58because,
17:00getting in front of the pawn,
17:02actually,
17:02allows him to be pushed away.
17:04But,
17:05so in this case,
17:07where the rook's on the wrong,
17:08is in the wrong position.
17:10Now white,
17:12because from here,
17:12he can't attack one of the pawns,
17:14so easily.
17:16Because,
17:16but,
17:16see,
17:17with black to play now,
17:18what he'd like to do is,
17:19get in front of one of the pawns.
17:22Such as,
17:23A8,
17:23actually,
17:23once you get to the,
17:24behind on the pawns,
17:25but alternatively,
17:26as a second option,
17:27get in front of one of the pawns,
17:30and then take it from there.
17:32So,
17:33with white to play,
17:35you have to ask yourself,
17:37how can I push one of the pawns,
17:38over to the end of the board?
17:40Again,
17:41we want to look at our logical options.
17:43Well,
17:44what options do we have,
17:45that make any progress?
17:47We can move the pawn on A6,
17:49we can move the pawn on B5,
17:51or we can move the king,
17:52that's on H2,
17:54closer to the pawns,
17:55of course,
17:55not away from the pawns.
17:57The problem with the king,
17:59the option with the king,
18:00so what we do,
18:01is we use a process of elimination.
18:03We look at all the logical options,
18:05and narrow them down,
18:06and eliminate them,
18:07each one at a time,
18:09until we come to the most logical conclusion,
18:11of which one we should do.
18:13So,
18:13in this case,
18:14the king is too slow,
18:15to get to the pawn,
18:17so what we need to do,
18:18is consider,
18:18do we want to move the pawn on A6,
18:20or do we want to move the pawn on B5?
18:22If we move,
18:23we have to consider both.
18:24For example,
18:26suppose I move the pawn on B6,
18:28the rook will,
18:29immediately get in front of the pawn,
18:31just as I mentioned,
18:32and after A7,
18:34of course,
18:34rook will take,
18:36but white then,
18:37can still promote his pawn on A8.
18:41Alternatively,
18:42after B6,
18:43rook B8,
18:44he can play also B7 as well.
18:48Now B7,
18:49king will move over,
18:51A7,
18:52you take,
18:53and he queens.
18:54So in this case,
18:55actually both ones win,
18:56both of the options win,
18:59but it's not always that way,
19:01so you have to be precise about,
19:03which option is best.
19:05If they both queen,
19:06you have to then look at,
19:08which one takes less time.
19:10So you go logically,
19:11the hierarchical descending way,
19:14where you go from,
19:15your end result,
19:16down to where,
19:17how to get there,
19:18and then,
19:18from greatest priority,
19:20to least priority.
19:21Now with white to play,
19:23like I said,
19:24what we want to do,
19:25is push the pawn.
19:26We want to get our pawn,
19:27closer to queen,
19:29and after rook to A8,
19:30to get in front of it,
19:31what we're going to do,
19:32is play B6,
19:33to defend the pawn.
19:35Now because,
19:35black has nowhere to go,
19:37such as,
19:38if you move the rook,
19:39over to,
19:39I don't know,
19:40any other square really,
19:42C8's bad,
19:42because we just hit it,
19:43but again,
19:44it's a tempo,
19:45right?
19:46Or let's say,
19:47we play rook G8,
19:48he just plays B7,
19:49and queen,
19:50or our next one,
19:51A8.
19:52So what we,
19:53black would like to do,
19:54is get his king,
19:54closer to the pawns,
19:56hopefully,
19:57trying to get over,
19:58to B7,
19:59or C6,
20:00getting in this square,
20:02right?
20:03Because,
20:03you see with B6,
20:05it's two moves away,
20:06so we have to get in the square,
20:07to stop the pawns.
20:10So after king G7,
20:11B7,
20:12rook takes A7,
20:14and he also queens.
20:15Now you notice,
20:16that took four moves,
20:17compared to everything else.
20:19Compare it to the variation,
20:22where,
20:22one variation,
20:24where you queen with the B pawn,
20:25and then compare it to,
20:27where we cleaned,
20:28with the A pawn.
20:31Notice,
20:31it's the same amount.
20:33Now,
20:34that was starting,
20:34with the B pawn.
20:35Now if we start,
20:36with the A pawn,
20:36we do the same calculation.
20:39Right?
20:39Which one can we move,
20:40without losing the pawn,
20:41and then how many moves,
20:42is it going to take?
20:44Alright?
20:45So it takes about,
20:46the same amount of moves,
20:47so technically it is,
20:48just a matter of taste,
20:49how you want to finish it off.
20:52Just keep in mind,
20:53if you're one with the two pawns,
20:54remember,
20:54we want to use the pawns,
20:56to move to a square,
20:57where it can't be taken.
20:58Also to,
21:00move the pawn,
21:00that's closest to queen in first,
21:02and then move your other pawn,
21:04to support it,
21:05just in case he blockades it.
21:08And the reason,
21:08why this wins for white,
21:10is because black,
21:11can't immediately,
21:12let's say he,
21:13went to,
21:14put his rook on A1,
21:16he couldn't play A7,
21:17because he would take it.
21:18So you see,
21:19why the rook,
21:20is much better placed,
21:21behind the pawns,
21:22instead of in front of the pawns.
21:24Well,
21:25with that said,
21:25let's go to our next example here.
21:27Now,
21:28what we have is,
21:29something similar,
21:30except the rook is on a different square,
21:32than what it was before.
21:34Same idea.
21:36So,
21:37he plays rook A,
21:39immediately,
21:42King G3.
21:44Notice here,
21:45when we look at this for white,
21:46we want to say,
21:47okay,
21:47we want to make headway,
21:49what are the options?
21:51Well,
21:51we can play,
21:51move the A pawn up a square,
21:53but of course,
21:54you lose,
21:55the rook will take,
21:55right?
21:56If we move our pawn up to B6,
21:58that will lose as well.
22:01So,
22:01the only option is,
22:02of course,
22:02move the king,
22:03because either way,
22:05right,
22:07the pawn,
22:07the A pawn,
22:08will fall.
22:10And of course,
22:11after he takes the A pawn,
22:12he'll go back to B7,
22:14to blockade,
22:14and take the other pawn.
22:16So,
22:16the other logical option,
22:18once you've eliminated both of those possibilities,
22:19is to the third possibility,
22:22is King G3.
22:24Now,
22:24what you want to do in this position,
22:26where black cannot take one of the pawns,
22:27he also has to move his king,
22:29to get the opposition,
22:30getting closer,
22:32to the pawn that's threatening to move.
22:34So,
22:35to advance further.
22:36So,
22:37he plays King G5,
22:38King F3,
22:38King F5,
22:39King E3,
22:40and King E5.
22:41Notice here,
22:42that black has gotten the opposition,
22:44and he's gotten closer to the pawns,
22:45in which,
22:46that the pawns cannot move,
22:48but after King D3,
22:49black will continue the opposition.
22:51And then we get to a vantage point,
22:53here,
22:53where black has to decide,
22:55does he continue to play King C3,
22:57and black will play King C5,
23:00to attack the pawn,
23:01or what are we going to do?
23:03Because,
23:04of course,
23:04again,
23:04we go back to the same logical way of thinking.
23:08If we think,
23:09okay,
23:10or if we consider the position,
23:12how do we make progress?
23:13Well,
23:14if we move the A pawn forward,
23:17right,
23:18well,
23:18we could take the pawn immediately,
23:21right?
23:22B6,
23:22and Rook B7,
23:24notice that he can't,
23:25he can't actually,
23:27it's not going to help him,
23:28because if he plays King over to C3,
23:30we just take the pawn,
23:31it's not going to help him.
23:33After A7,
23:34King C5,
23:35also,
23:36we can take both pawns,
23:39so this is just another way.
23:41What we need to do,
23:42when we look at both ways,
23:43is find,
23:44ask yourself,
23:45which one is faster?
23:46And that will be the one,
23:48that has more qualitative value.
23:51So after B6,
23:53in this case,
23:54instead of A7,
23:55so A7,
23:56that,
23:59simply,
23:59if it was me playing the position,
24:01I would just simply,
24:02take the pawn on A7,
24:03because you can't,
24:04the King cannot come to C4,
24:06to support the pawn,
24:07and,
24:08of course,
24:09also,
24:10I can,
24:10after I play King C5,
24:12take the pawn,
24:12I'll just,
24:13I'll just come closer,
24:14to the A pawn,
24:15it's not,
24:16this is not going to end well,
24:18for White here.
24:20So,
24:20and you can't stop,
24:22White cannot stop Black,
24:23from coming over,
24:24and,
24:25taking those pawns,
24:26either with the King,
24:27or a combination of the King,
24:29and the Rook,
24:30I mean.
24:31So after A7,
24:33King C5,
24:34notice that he cannot stop,
24:36White cannot stop him,
24:37from taking the pawn,
24:38it's just a matter of,
24:39how long is it going to take,
24:40to win this position.
24:41First of all,
24:42how long does it take,
24:43to win the pawns,
24:44because that's like,
24:45step one,
24:46like getting the position,
24:47step one,
24:47step two,
24:48it's kind of like,
24:49in other words,
24:50the next step is,
24:50to take the pawns,
24:51and then of course,
24:53for the check mating,
24:54you'd have to calculate,
24:55how many moves does it take.
24:57So after B6,
24:58instead of A7,
25:00Rook will just take on A6,
25:01as I said,
25:02you play B7,
25:03and you got behind the pawn,
25:05with Rook B6,
25:06and you stop the pawn,
25:07and you're going to win the game.
25:09Of course,
25:10Black's next move,
25:11is going to take the pawn,
25:12more than likely,
25:14right,
25:15or you can play,
25:15King C5,
25:16but where he has the opposition,
25:18you'd like to keep it,
25:19and just take the pawn.
25:21What you do is,
25:22if he comes closer,
25:23you just take the pawn,
25:24if he comes even closer,
25:25let's say to B3,
25:26or B4,
25:27you just cut him off,
25:28with Rook to C7,
25:30cut that part of the board off,
25:32and it's a normal mating,
25:34pattern.
25:35The important thing,
25:36to remember from this,
25:37is,
25:37we want to get our,
25:39our actual strategic,
25:41strategical is,
25:42get our pieces into position,
25:44where they can,
25:46where it's strategically won,
25:49game.
25:50So what we want to do is,
25:51we want to look at,
25:52the opponent's threats,
25:53in terms of pushing the pawn,
25:55and then stop the pawns,
25:56from advancing.
25:58That would be step one.
25:59Step two is,
26:00get our King into position,
26:01so he can stop the pawns,
26:03and also of course,
26:04win them,
26:05with a combination of,
26:06Rook taking both,
26:07or the King taking both,
26:08or Rook and the King taking both,
26:10depending on,
26:10how you want to do it,
26:11artistically.
26:13So,
26:15notice that here,
26:16the other thing to remember is,
26:17remember Black was just,
26:18getting the opposition here.
26:20This was to keep the King,
26:22away from supporting the pawn,
26:23from getting to C4,
26:25and then later,
26:26getting over to B4.
26:28What will happen is,
26:29he plays,
26:30for example,
26:31King C3,
26:32I play King C5,
26:33and then we're going to take the pawn,
26:35because he cannot play King B4,
26:37we're going to take the pawn on B5,
26:39and then of course,
26:40we can,
26:40the other Rook can take on A6,
26:44right,
26:44let's say,
26:44he moves the King over,
26:46let's say back,
26:47or pushes the pawn,
26:49well he pushes the pawn,
26:50we just take with the Rook,
26:51or goes back over,
26:52we take the pawn anyway,
26:54and then we come,
26:55and it's a normal mating net,
26:58as in checkmate,
26:59as in checkmate.
27:01So,
27:02remember,
27:02first thing,
27:03get into position,
27:04second thing,
27:04move our King,
27:06make sure we have the opposition,
27:07and then the third thing,
27:08is destruction of the pawns,
27:09and then of course,
27:10pass that,
27:11because after Rook B6,
27:12I take it,
27:13White resigned,
27:14because he can't make any progress,
27:16why?
27:16If you move the King,
27:18he'll take the pawn,
27:18or if you push the pawn to Queen,
27:20Rook will take,
27:22just that simple.
27:24So,
27:25let's,
27:25let's,
27:26actually,
27:26let's end it here,
27:28for next time,
27:29I'm going to talk about,
27:30when the pawns,
27:30when the King is much stronger,
27:33is much greater advanced,
27:35let's say he was in the 5th rank,
27:36and you have 2 pawns,
27:37in the 6th rank,
27:39and then,
27:40our King is on his original square,
27:42on E8,
27:42as in,
27:43let's say he's on his original square,
27:45whether it's,
27:45White or Black,
27:47depending on what the positioning is,
27:49if it's White,
27:49with the 2 pawns,
27:50or Black with the 2 pawns,
27:51so,
27:52if it's the other way around,
27:53then we'd flip the board,
27:54and be like,
27:55okay,
27:56you know,
27:56it's the other way around,
27:57so,
27:59we'll talk about that,
28:00because what we're looking at,
28:01is 2 pawns,
28:03far advanced,
28:04right,
28:05can we stop them,
28:06or not,
28:07so,
28:08we'll look at those,
28:10first,
28:11and,
28:12see,
28:13when it gets to the 6th rank,
28:14what,
28:14what do we have,
28:16no 6th rank here,
28:18the 6th and 7th rank,
28:19can we stop them,
28:216th and 7th,
28:226th and 7th,
28:236th and 7th,
28:25and then,
28:25what we'll do in,
28:26after our next lesson,
28:27we'll talk about 5th and 6th,
28:29now,
28:30it doesn't sound like much of a difference,
28:32until you actually play it out,
28:33and see that it is a huge difference,
28:36and so,
28:37what happens is,
28:38that black actually has to be more precise about,
28:41where,
28:42he has to,
28:43first of all,
28:43be in front of the pawn,
28:44and he has to be precise about,
28:45stopping the pawn from advancing,
28:48in front of the pawns,
28:49so,
28:49in this case,
28:51I'll just give you,
28:52kind of a sneak peek,
28:53that,
28:54this would actually,
28:55be winning for black,
28:56notice that,
28:57he's way in front of the pawns,
28:58but this is just,
28:59sort of a,
29:01you know,
29:02sort of a preview,
29:02for our next lesson,
29:04now,
29:04let's talk about the main lessons,
29:06we learned from this,
29:09from these end games,
29:10now,
29:12notice that we're dealing with,
29:14past pawns on the queen side,
29:17if your king is on the opposite side of the board,
29:20let's say you're the defending side,
29:23where you're defending against the past pawns,
29:25what you need to do,
29:26is get your pieces into position,
29:28to where they are,
29:29alright,
29:30especially if our king's on the opposite side of the board,
29:33we have to weigh the two possibilities,
29:34do we get our king to come closer,
29:37or do we move our rook into position,
29:39closer,
29:40does the transposition matter,
29:42or does the order,
29:43or does the order matter,
29:46can we transpose it with no consequences,
29:49or does the order matter,
29:50in which we have to do things in a specific order,
29:54right,
29:55not any random order,
29:56but it has to be done in a certain orderly way,
29:59okay,
30:00so,
30:01also,
30:02we have to understand that the rook,
30:04the rook is best placed behind the pawn,
30:05or in front of the pawn,
30:08once the rook is best placed,
30:10where you can stop one of the pawns from advancing,
30:13right,
30:14because we're dealing with pawns,
30:16on the fifth and sixth rank,
30:17right,
30:18then after we've gotten that,
30:20where we've optimized the position of the rook,
30:21that's when we bring our king in,
30:24we want to get our king closer to the pawns,
30:27so we can,
30:28we can stop the pawns from advancing,
30:30or,
30:30and or,
30:31with the idea of,
30:33taking the pawns,
30:35okay,
30:36that's the idea for this lesson,
30:38as I said before,
30:39what I'm going to do is,
30:40I'm going to,
30:41set up critical positions,
30:42from each of the end games,
30:44and what I'm going to do is,
30:47I'm going to have,
30:49so,
30:50I'm going to say,
30:51okay,
30:51it's white to move,
30:52or black to move,
30:54right,
30:54and I'm going to say,
30:55how do you win,
30:57is this,
30:58for example,
30:58I'm going to say like,
30:59for example,
31:00this is,
31:01for example,
31:02white to move,
31:02or black to move,
31:03for example,
31:04in this position,
31:05it's black to move,
31:06right,
31:07excuse me,
31:07white,
31:08it's white to move,
31:09right,
31:09so I'll be like,
31:10okay,
31:10white to play,
31:11what do you do?
31:13Now,
31:14it's,
31:14now,
31:15if there's two possible solutions,
31:17so if that's the case,
31:18either B6 or A7,
31:20are possible solutions,
31:22what I'd want is,
31:22in the comment section,
31:24give me the correct analysis,
31:25or the correct moves,
31:28or proof text,
31:29of what actually,
31:30wins,
31:30okay,
31:31so if you want to give me,
31:32B6 as a solution,
31:34what you want to do,
31:35say,
31:35okay,
31:36he's going to play,
31:36B6,
31:38all right,
31:38he'll play whatever,
31:39and what I want to see,
31:41is the right moves,
31:42what's the right plan,
31:43for your side,
31:45okay,
31:46B6,
31:46A7,
31:47and then you clean,
31:49okay,
31:49or if you say,
31:51A7,
31:51what are the follow up moves,
31:52we play A7,
31:54then B6,
31:56right,
31:56then B7,
31:58and then he takes,
31:59and then you clean,
32:00so you get the idea,
32:02I would want that,
32:03for all of these,
32:04so for white to play,
32:05I want that for that,
32:06I want you to show me,
32:08what would be the,
32:09all the moves,
32:09for your side,
32:10okay,
32:12now,
32:13for a second one,
32:15also,
32:15I want to see,
32:16the right moves,
32:17for black,
32:17now,
32:20I'm not trying,
32:21to rehash,
32:22the whole lesson,
32:22so I'm not going to ask,
32:23for what are all the best moves,
32:25for opposing side,
32:26but first things first,
32:28is what is needful,
32:30is what is,
32:31what is the best moves,
32:32for your side,
32:33in terms of,
32:34what are your winning moves,
32:35to finish your game off,
32:37so in this case,
32:38we say okay,
32:38rook a1,
32:40rook a5,
32:41right,
32:42rook takes a6,
32:43and then a6,
32:45the idea is,
32:46we get the idea,
32:48where the bishop,
32:49excuse me,
32:50where the rook is poised,
32:51and we see the,
32:52the pattern recognition,
32:54in terms of,
32:55okay,
32:56we always going here,
32:57here,
32:57here,
32:57and then here,
32:58why,
32:59we're getting behind the pawn,
33:00getting the rook behind the pawn,
33:02to win the pawn,
33:04so the third example,
33:05what I want you to do,
33:07is the same thing again,
33:09now,
33:09if we have two possible solutions,
33:11then I want two possible solutions,
33:14I want to see,
33:16because,
33:17the reason why I want two possible solutions,
33:19is I want you to be able to prove,
33:22your analysis,
33:23it's not supposed to be a guessing game,
33:25it's supposed to be a game of precision,
33:27where,
33:27what is the right move,
33:29so for example,
33:29you could say,
33:30okay,
33:30what's the winning plan for white,
33:32well,
33:32he'd like to play a7,
33:34b6,
33:35b7,
33:35and queen,
33:37okay,
33:37alright,
33:38that's the first winning idea,
33:40what about the other idea,
33:41well,
33:42we can also play,
33:44b6,
33:45with the idea of a7,
33:48or b7,
33:50a7,
33:51and then queen,
33:52notice it took four moves,
33:54just like it here,
33:54it took four moves,
33:56so,
33:58the main thing is,
33:59the main line,
34:00which is a7,
34:01we always want to look at,
34:03the most obvious possibility first,
34:06not the most difficult,
34:07then,
34:08to the most obvious,
34:09but the most obvious,
34:10to the least obvious,
34:12in other words,
34:12the simplest,
34:13to the most complex,
34:15and then for our last one here,
34:19what we want to do is,
34:20this will be black to play,
34:22so we want to say,
34:23okay,
34:23in this position,
34:25where a rook,
34:26is not all the way on,
34:27the back rank of white,
34:28right,
34:30where the rook,
34:30can't immediately get,
34:31behind the pawns,
34:32what's the next best thing,
34:33okay,
34:34get in front of the pawns,
34:36and I would say,
34:37okay,
34:37in this position,
34:38what's the winning plan,
34:39okay,
34:40it's a8,
34:41with the idea of,
34:42with moving our king,
34:43into position,
34:44with g5,
34:45f5,
34:46e5,
34:47b5,
34:49right,
34:51okay,
34:51and then I say,
34:52okay,
34:52well,
34:53let's say,
34:53in this position,
34:56let's say,
34:57white plays,
34:59b6,
35:00right,
35:01how do you win the game,
35:05well,
35:05we take the pawn,
35:07and then when he pushes the pawn,
35:08we get behind it again,
35:10what is our common theme,
35:11getting behind the pawn,
35:12win one,
35:13we get into position,
35:15stop the pawn from moving,
35:17take one of the pawns,
35:18and then get behind the pawn,
35:19which is ideal position for the pawn,
35:21then take the pawn,
35:23so we want to see this in phases,
35:24and not all of it all at once,
35:27okay,
35:29alright,
35:30that will conclude our lesson for today,
35:33so I'm going to,
35:34we're going to be focusing just on those four,
35:37now it doesn't sound like a lot of those four,
35:39but what we want to do is look at those,
35:41same,
35:43a certain type of position,
35:45and go in depth,
35:46so we really know it well,
35:48better to know a small amount well,
35:51than a whole bunch,
35:52but not well at all,
35:53because then we can't play it well at all,
35:55right,
35:56so we do things in phases,
35:58we want to get,
35:59we do this by types,
36:00from easiest to hardest,
36:03and then we,
36:03what we want to do for each type that we study,
36:06and what we want to do is,
36:08we want to,
36:09learn in depth,
36:11so we know it cold,
36:13okay,
36:13once we understand,
36:15and we know the principles,
36:16of where pieces should be placed,
36:17and it's just a matter of doing it,
36:19then I have to read,
36:20say okay,
36:21for example,
36:22I really like to get the rip behind the pawn,
36:23okay,
36:24that's right,
36:25but if that's not available,
36:26I get the rip,
36:27in front of the pawn,
36:29that's like,
36:30the second choice,
36:31right,
36:32then,
36:32if I can't do anything next,
36:34what should be my plan,
36:35okay,
36:35I need to bring my king,
36:36towards the pawn,
36:38that would be the next option,
36:40all right,
36:41after that,
36:42once we understand,
36:43where the pieces should be placed,
36:45step by step,
36:46then we want to look at,
36:48we want to be able to,
36:49analyze the position logically,
36:51we look at all the positions,
36:52in which that our opponent,
36:54can make headway,
36:56plus how we can make headway,
36:58so we know where we want to put our pieces,
37:00but our actions are dictated by,
37:02or influenced by,
37:04what our opponent is doing,
37:07not just arbitrarily doing,
37:09anything randomly,
37:10but things done correctly,
37:13in an orderly way,
37:14to get,
37:15of course,
37:15the correct result,
37:16right,
37:17so that's the idea,
37:19all right,
37:21so when you get in these positions,
37:23in the end game,
37:23if you know the principles,
37:25you just,
37:26you know where your pieces should go,
37:27and then you just say,
37:29okay,
37:29how can I get to that square,
37:31and then what you do is,
37:33once you,
37:33you do this by priority,
37:35of course,
37:35we have to stop the pawns,
37:37right,
37:37common sense,
37:38right,
37:39then after we do that,
37:41what we do is,
37:42we say,
37:42okay,
37:42the rook's into position,
37:43what's next,
37:44the king,
37:45well,
37:45there's no other pieces,
37:46but the king,
37:47right,
37:47so the king comes into position,
37:49we need to understand,
37:51what,
37:51we need to bring our king into position,
37:53so we say,
37:54okay,
37:54how do I get there,
37:56okay,
37:56I just go over,
37:57and then make sure we keep the opposition,
37:59and keep the king away,
38:01so we look at those principles,
38:03and then ask yourself,
38:04how do we get there,
38:06and then what are his options,
38:08and then what's the best play for his options,
38:10so we look at this analysis,
38:12once we know that,
38:13then we know how to play these types of positions,
38:16right,
38:18alright,
38:20play that out in your games,
38:22you'll find that you will draw or win much,
38:25much more games than you did in the past,
38:27if you weren't implementing those ideas,
38:30so I'd like to thank all the people watching this live on Facebook,
38:34so this does enable me to produce more content,

38:47and when you,
38:48like I said,
38:49when you implement this into your games,
38:51you'll find that you'll win,
38:52or draw games,
38:54that you weren't able to draw before,
38:57so anyway,
38:58for all the people watching this live,

39:51now this thing includes,
39:54you know,
39:55analysis from famous games,
39:57my game,
39:58different aspects of the game,
40:01I'm going to focus mostly,
40:03just as if you were to train,
40:05and study in chess,
40:06for a tournament,
40:07or any other rated games,
40:09I'm going to focus mostly on what's,
40:11what should be learned first,
40:13which would be,
40:14mostly a game,
40:16then,
40:18in the beginning,
40:19it's mostly in game,
40:20after you've,
40:20you've learned all your,
40:22your major positions,
40:23and it's mostly middle game,
40:24so starting out,
40:25what I'm going to do,
40:26is I'm going to have,
40:28let's say,
40:29we're going to have,
40:32let's say,
40:33we're going to have,
40:34like,
40:34for example,
40:36we're going to have mostly,
40:38we're going to have,
40:39like,
40:39for example,
40:39we're going to have,
40:42you know,
40:42three,
40:43three,
40:44let's say two sessions,
40:46so actually,
40:47let's do this instead,
40:48actually,
40:50I'm going to have,
40:51I'm going to have,
40:51actually have even,
40:53of,
40:54end game,
40:55and middle game,
40:55I could do three,
40:56one and one,
40:57but,
40:58what I want to do,
40:59is look at,
41:01I want to be able,
41:02to look at,
41:04openings,
41:05at least one,
41:06for both white,
41:07and black,
41:08and have two sessions,
41:09so just one,
41:11just for white,
41:11for white games,
41:13and then another one,
41:14for black,
41:15so I'll have two sessions,
41:16and also,
41:16I want to have two sessions,
41:18for,
41:19end game,
41:20consecutive sessions,
41:21so we can put,
41:22this together,
41:23logically right,
41:24and then the last one,
41:25will be openings,
41:26where we focus on,
41:28so we,
41:29yeah,
41:29in other words,
41:30we look at,
41:30middle game positions,
41:31from the white's point of view,
41:34and then middle game positions,
41:35from black's point of view,
41:36and then we look at,
41:37how to set up,
41:37a good position,
41:39for an opening,
41:40played by white,
41:41and an opening,
41:42played by black,
41:43so we'll have,
41:44two sessions,
41:46of end game,
41:46two sessions,
41:47of middle game,
41:47and one session,
41:48of openings,
41:51now,
41:52once,
41:52once we've,
41:54already gotten to,
41:54all the,
41:55all the critical,
41:56end game positions,
41:57that someone at this level,
41:59which should be,
42:00let's say,
42:00under 2000,
42:02right,
42:03once they've gotten,
42:04to that position,
42:06or once they've learned,
42:07all these positions,
42:08what I would do,
42:09is focus some still,
42:11on analysis,
42:12you have in game,
42:12and learning those,
42:13from your own games,
42:15focusing just on,
42:16end game,
42:17and then I would have,
42:18let's say,
42:19three sessions,
42:19of middle game,
42:21and one session,
42:22of openings,
42:23but until then,
42:24what I'm going to have,
42:25is two sessions,
42:26of end game,
42:26so you have more time,
42:27to learn those positions,
42:29and then,
42:29two sessions,
42:30of middle game,
42:31and one session,
42:33of the end game,
42:34what I'm going to do,
42:35going forward,
42:36is I'm going to get,
42:37I'm going to just start,
42:38immediately,
42:38at that position,
42:40and then,
42:41say okay,
42:42how do you play,
42:42the position now,
42:43and then after that,
42:44we're going to analyze,
42:46what,
42:46how the game,
42:47started,
42:48obviously,
42:49you start with,
42:50well not obviously,
42:51for everybody,
42:52but,
42:53what you do,
42:54is you look at,
42:54the last position,
42:55or excuse me,
42:56the last mistake,
42:58so that last position,
42:59where you made a mistake,
43:01and then you go backwards,
43:03okay,
43:03you say what led up,
43:04to that,
43:06and then what you do,
43:07is you say okay,
43:08what led up to that,
43:09and then what you do,
43:10so you go backwards,
43:11halfway,
43:11and then you go from the beginning,
43:13forwards,
43:14halfway,
43:14and see what's the relationship,
43:16how these two connect,
43:18okay,
43:18so that's,
43:20there's actually a book,
43:21if you want to read it,
43:22for further reading,
43:22it's called reverse,
43:24chess strategy,
43:25where you,
43:26you start from the ending,
43:28you start from the end of the game,
43:31and then you logically,
43:32the end of the game,
43:33meaning your goal,
43:34and you work backwards,
43:35to find out,
43:36how you got to that goal,
43:37so that's called,
43:38reverse chess strategy,
43:40there's a book on it,
43:41at some point,
43:42I'm going to go over,
43:42some points about that,
43:44but this is a way to,
43:45how you can analyze,
43:46and understand what's going on,
43:48with having the goal in mind,
43:50first,
43:50and then saying,
43:51how do I build to that position,
43:53all right,
43:55now,
