is that a kasparov set?
lol, if I promote a pawn when they only have a king, I just get rook
LOVE your chess board !!! Would like to have one exactly like it !!
Thanks for your explanations. Crystal clear.
8:07 What could black do against rook to H4 to H8 to B8 to B7?
I had no idea it was the MOST position in all of chess theory 😂
Hey John where did can you buy a good quality chess board like the one you use in the video, or if you can remember where you got yours at I would appreciate it.
Very good video. Just wish you had touched upon the Black defensive attempt of placing HIS rook on the fourth rank before White gets the opportunity to do so.
Five people burned bridges.
Thanks.
11:56 How is Rd8 winning? What about the checks?
Pawn promoting Brings out a upside down rook
Great video, thx.
So, what is the winning method with the rook pawn, after all?
what is the size of this board ?
how to utilise these positions in bullet games?
This is fantastic man..
haven't had a better explanation for endgames yet!
The best chess teacher on YouTube . Period !!!
.
Much gratitude !
Well explained: clear, complete, and succinct.
Your board is cool
What if I have to bring it all the way from b2??
Thanks, endgames always confused me. This was extremely helpful.
Sir, Where to buy exactly same chess board and pieces ??
thanks for the vedio.. helped me a lot.. 👍
You can still win even if the pawn is on the a or h file..just swing the rook to the opposite file, then move it to either 1 or 8 row, then place it on the pawn's attacked square?
What should White play if Black plays Rb1 at 10:33?
awesome. Thank you so much!
thank you very much
i appreciate much to have lessons with a real chessboard , à physical board.
and good pedogogie either: no too short not too long
4:45 Rb5
One defensive try you didn't show is when the weaker side places its own rook on the fourth rank.
You're amazing
Thank you for this excellent explanation and demonstration. I will check out your website and practice this endgame. Btw I also subscribed.
Engines suggest rook d5 (5th rank) for the bridge?
at 11:54 Rd8 does not work as black will get some checks and you will have to start the process over again.
Thanks John,, make more endgame lesson!!
Never understood why it’s called a bridge.
So I'm on an date and a tell her my favorite position is the lucena position.
thanks … by the way i like your chessboard
I have been around chess for 30 years and I never heard about the Lucena position before. 0_0! Thanks man for sharing!
Good video
Thank you John. This Lucena & also the Philador rook & pawn positions are ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to know!! Sincerely, JAMES.
Please make king bishop + knight vs king only endgame video
At 5:48 what about white 1.Rd7.. Then 1…Ke6 2.Rc7 and then white king can step aside to Kc8 and there are no more checks..
Congratulations. A clear and concise explanation of this position. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
I tryed this today and I also figured out that my rook had to block the check, so I did the 2nd option you said, I thought I had to sacrifice the rook for a queen and I'm quite sure I saw somewhere that's winning xD. But anyway I definitely enjoyed this video and it's helping me to improve!
Great lesson, as usual! Which board/piece set is this, and how would I go about obtaining one?
Can anyone tell me the chessboard name? And price?
Simply the best explanation of Lucina position I have encountered on YouTube! Now, everything becomes clear and simple. Thanks a lot, John. =)
What chess set is that?
Wow, physical board is more pleasant than electronic board. Sir, add more videos
