  1. I like how these videos…judging by his opening statement in this video………..are in the playlist in the wrong order?

  2. I've been so frustrated with modern play. No one knows how to play an endgame. A statistical advantage is not an actual win. Being able to capture the king is the end of the game.A piece and a chair, to paraphrase poker, is all you need. The statistics of a perfectly played game does not represent a person with a momentary piece advantage and no endgame, and it does not equate a victory.

  3. great vids but the big question is… how did u get to the top of the q when i type chess?

  4. Nice Videos .. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

  5. wouldnt it be easier to define the end gme by how many points a player has on the board? for example if 1 player has 12 points worth of piece left on the board its the end gme.

  6. What the hell is King infiltration at 7:37?? Kings can't check each other………….

  7. @sugmc he said that when black moved the king to one of those squares, white then moves its king to the square to the diagonal of balck's, thus protecting the pawn and forcing promotion.

  8. What an amazing teacher. I just saw everything that I do wrong. I knew I was too aggressive with my queen but I found 3other flaws. 1)I move more than once before the 10th move. 2) I undervalued my King in the end. 3) I make little or no effort to get a pawn across. I just learned so much 🙂

  9. These videos were extremely helpful and exactly what I was looking for

  10. Bloody well written that. Expertly delivered too! Should help my games a lot since the Endgame is where I have most of my trouble.

  11. Wow! Thanks for uploading this series. I was that 90%, started learning playing on the computer via trial and error, so I did not progress very far. Always felt like there was something missing in chess–basically I did not know the principles/purpose/goal (besides checkmating) of chess. But I was good enough to be in a position where the cpu kept marching its pawns to promotion, but I was too dumb to use that same strategy. I'll revisit chess sometime soon.

  12. This video series taught me a lot about chess. Thank you!

  13. I seem to do well until endgame. Just terrible at it.

  14. I have lots to learn about endgame. Thank you!

  15. i need to go to tournamant tommorow.i think this will be helped

  16. I FEEL OBLIGED TO THANK U FOR THESE VERY CLEAR AND GREAT LESSONS ABOUT EVERYTHING BASICS WE NEED FOR CHESS' DANIEL RENCH SPEAKS SO CLEAR AND FULL VOICE' THAT IS SO ESSENTIAL FOR US ELDERLY, AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO YOU. I THOUGHT THAT I SHALL NEVER CATCH OR OBSORB THIS GAME, BUT DANIEL PROVED ME WRONG..
    GOD BLESS YOU..

  17. I AM PROUD TO LET U KNOW' THE SHARKS THAT PLAYED WITH ME COMPLIMENTED MY IMPROVEMENT', AT THE GAME ..THANK U

  18. Could you make a series on how to win on black. If I played someone know all of this as I do him/her being white gives them a great advantage so how do I win as black knowing white knows all that I know. I'm all your examples white was victorious

  19. "Everything you need to know about the endgame is now complete" biggest lie I've heard in my entire life.

  20. I highly like this series. I was not able to beat a computer until I stumbled upon this series.

  21. this combined with chessnetwork endgame and agamadator will make u good

  22. endgame? If I'm losing I just flip the board over

  23. In the scenario at 4:00 why can’t the black king move to the right in order to block the white kings advance towards the black pawns?

  24. I kept trying to figure out what your voice sounds like.. sounds like Ben Shapiro

  25. Just shows that with effort and perseverance even the humble pawn can become the most powerful piece.

  26. 6:20, why wouldn't the king take the pawn on f 7 on it's journey to protect the pawn?

  27. I love how when I get onto chess im not allowed to capture anyone that isn't exactly In front of me as king

  28. @13:26 I am confused. Doesn't Kf1 then Kg2 block the pawn advance? How does black win 'quickly' here? I am not seeing it…

  29. Number calculation is good for end game.
