In this video, I offer 5 more exercises to test your knowledge of the previous five pawn endgame videos. Each exercise is meant to help review and deepen your understanding of the concepts that I went over in the previous videos, as well as to nuance and strengthen your ability to approach difficult pawn endgames as a whole. Enjoy!

super interesting exercises
I1ve noticed that in many pawn endgame puzzles using intuition is what makes you loose. Only pure calculation work ,what is a bit discouraging because the lines tend to be too long to calculate. On the other hand, it makes me relax about these endings.
Where does he find these games?
Great video
42:18 I am very excited for queen endgame videos! When is that coming out?
Emmanuel lasker… weak…. yeah
Danya, thanks for the video! Super informative and instructive!
I wanted to add, I think, a necessary line to the third puzzle that makes it more amazing and even better shows the power of corresponding squares. I actually thought it would be a main line:)
In 35:21 black went Kd5 followed by K:f3 Ke5 and maneuver Kf2-e1-d2-d3 with a win for white. Instead of Kd5 black could go Kc4 K:f3 Kd3. Now on Kf2 Kc4 Ke2 Kc3 and it seems like a deadlock for white. D3-f3, c4-f2 and c3-e2 are pairs of corresponding squares. So after Kd3 white follow with Kf2 Kc4 Kg2! Kc3 Kg3! And black are in zugzwang! For example, Kc4 Kf2 and white wins
Please do not rerecord the whole video for this. This one was good enough:)
