Players such as Capablanca and Magnus Carlsen are famous for winning endgames that look drawn to mere mortals (and other Grandmasters!). Let GM Max Dlugy – a former World Junior Champion – show you some of the secrets of endgame strategy in this preview of his new DVD “Chess Endgame Domination”.
In a position that looks more or less level to start with, GM Dlugy demonstrates how to use the advantage of the 2 Bishops and a misplaced piece of the opponents to control more space and dictate play.
With an explanation of when and why it is beneficial to exchange a pair of Rooks, GM Dlugy does this on his terms before tying his opponent down to the defence of his pieces. This allows him to choose the perfect moment to simplify into a won Rook and Pawn endgame which he finishes with instructive precision.
Mastering endgame strategy is one of the most rewarding pursuits in your chess training. Not only does it teach you the power (and weaknesses) of the pieces at a subtle level, it also greatly improves your ability to plan and calculate. Of course, this will also improve your middlegame play.
If you didn’t think chess endgames were fun before, you soon will!
Enjoy this video and remember to check out the DVD!

Thank you
Well said, very instructive!
Interesting, thanks!
Nice and instructive showing. Generally speaking trading pieces is good for the side who is in better position, and in this case the rule found a more specific application for the rooks. Also H3 was a strategical mistake creating weakness which could be avoided simply applying the rule of putting the pawns in the squares with different colour from the bishop without making complicate calculations.
Don't understand why white want knight on c3 at all.
Nice and instructive showing
Thanks , Sir
awesome strategy
Absolutely brilliant insights into how to change various advantages during a game, to your benefit.
thanks!
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, as I have only been playing a couple months,but if white positions his bishop on d7 , doesn't that pin your bishop? as he could cause havoc by taking on f5 then e6 if you move your bishop from that diagonal he is protecting by sitting on h3.

this is the reason I love the game of chess. every move and you get to enjoy it with your opponent. love it. great show guys! also showing the kid to appreciate a game that I hope will be around for ever and ever
Why at 4:50 not Ra3? If the knight moves then you could grab the seventh
Thanks!
Very instructive video, thanks.
video starts at 0:00. thank me now
Nice video. But why doesn't white put his knight to A4 at 8:46?
KIITOS PALJON!!
Good principles of end game, I appreciated how you describe the philosophy (so few video makers do this), however I think your videos would be much better if you explored other lines we might’ve thought of. For example, there was a point where f4 for white, attacking the dark square bishop looked possible, but because you were simply running through the game as it was played in this particular game, other possible lines weren’t explored enough. I’m a 1950 player and I had trouble following you in spots because I saw other interesting ideas I wished you had elaborated on! Good video overall, though.
I am new to chess and wanted to know why putting the pawns in the squares with different colour from the bishop? I thought it is better to put them in the same colour because than you can defend them with your bishop.
btw: very good explanation, i will get your class on ichess
Why would anyone call themselves "Title" "Your name"
Learn from this vedio-
Put your pawns on opposite colour square of your bishop.
2 bishops are always superior than 1 bishop and 1 knight ….
Put your pawns on opposite square colour than bishop of your opponent as bishop completely out of the game if you do that.
So amazingly insightful
thx
Magnus Karlsen
Very instructive to see the thought process of a GM.
Want free chess course
I'd prefer that the board was flipped to the side that we are studying.
Thank you sir By chess lover from India
