Dominate King and Pawn Endgames

King and Pawn Endgames are probably some of the most important and fundamental endgames in chess. Many amateur chess players deceive themselves thinking that because there aren’t many pieces left on the board, the king and pawn endings are simple to play.

In fact, the opposite is true.

These positions are full of traps, tricks, and surprises. A single wrong move can end the game, not in your favor!

Despite its visual simplicity, king and pawn endgame is a very complicated subject in chess. The majority of club level players nowadays do not spend the appropriate amount of time to get familiar even with some of the most typical positions. That’s why there many won games being lost in such positions on under 2200 level. By learning how to convert simple king and pawn endgames one can gain as many as 100-200 rating points in no time.

Why so many club level players stay away from these endings?

  • They don’t know exactly what positions to study
  • They don’t know how to study those positions
  • They don’t know how to apply the knowledge they acquired

We understand that the majority of chess players can not afford to spend 6 months just on going over hundreds of different endgames. It is boring and counter-productive. Also, there is no guarantee that you will learn the position to the extent that you’ll be able to play it right in a real game.
