A new endgame episode is coming up every Thursday! To continue the series, I have decided to cover the absolutely essential endgames every tournament player must know.

In this video I have gone over the seemingly simple, but in practice very tricky endgame, queen and king versus rook and king.

I have covered the winning technique for the attacker in 4 simple steps, and I have gone over two most common and most efficient drawing techniques for the defending side.
