The MAIN Reason Why You LOSE This Chess Endgame
According to Mark Dvoretsky, A. Studenecki suggested the floating-square rule in chess in 1939. If a square whose two corners are occupied by pawns (on the same rank) reaches the edge of the board, then one of those pawns must queen. In Today’s video I explain in details how this rule functions.
Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
This doesn't work for Black pawns on a3 and c3, white ling on b3
You literally moved them up from the 5th rank to 6th
Thanks
They’re on different ranks what
Your Videos are verry informative
If you move pawn h5 cant you checkmate
Or ya know take the king
Wait why can't you just go like king c4 c3
There is a simpler rule, called the "rule of 7". You start counting the rank of the two pawns, taking as rank nr. 1 the 1st rank of their own side. Then you add the number of squares separating the two pawns to the number of the rank. If the total sum is 7 or more, one pawn is promoted without the assistance of the K. For example, here we have: in the first example, the two black pawns are on the 4th rank (counting from the black side!) and they are separated by three pawns. 4+3 = 7, so the promotion of one pawn is achieved. In the second case, the pawns are on the 3rd rank (from their own side) and they are still separated by 3 squares. 3+3 = 6, the promotion cannot be achieved. Cool, eh? 😎
Why don’t you just move the pawns up? Get it?
Are you Romanian? Cuz you sound like Bogdan from Breaking Bad
"Poosh the pawn"
I never knew there was another box rule, this one will be useful in endgames
you put the 2black pawn and the king in higher place
I wished I knew this trick earlier. I was in a position where I sacrificed an exchange to get to this type of position, but my pawns were one square too far behind, so I lost both my pawns, and the game.
Keep in mind that I could have won if I didn't make the exchange sacrifice. I had also used so much brainpower to that 30-minute game. It was a shame that I lost.
a
Other side pawn move white wins
What to do if we meet the floating square?
I’ve had this endgame and ended by stalemate but never came back
Move the white pawn ?
How oddly specific! Very nice.
Or ya know take the king
Who else loved how those circling arrows revolved around the kings
Why can't I after black Kf6 go to a pawn? I can just take it and black loses
At the start he made a red square and I can’t unsee it now
How did that black e pawm did not get taken throughout the whole game
Pin me if I trick you

What if you checked with the white pawn, and escorted the second
Cant whitejust repeat in the end?
So it's a drawn position right?
1… Kf6 2. Kc5 Kg7 3. Kc6
Draw?🥸🥸🥸
I'll instantly say no before you ask me if I know why I keep losing chess
Bro you can you just do everything u said when you said they can’t be stoped but when the black pawn is one square from queening just check the black king and the control the square of promotion
I don't even play ♟️
Do you
Did not know this concept. Good stuff! Keep them coming please!
I thought it was whites turn
When on earth would this ever happen in a real game
I think this would be rare because the center pawn is always eaten
4 conditions it has to be you’re turn
Why did you put the king in center always. Why not go near the edge pawn hahha
Why didnt Qc6 just push Pa6 after Qg7 move to f6?
i dived into the chess endgame rabbit hole and there is so much i have to learn
'The edge of the board has to be edge'
Bro got 2 bishops on white
How can I win in this position with white
But is there like a way for white to win?
And that kids, is why you should always learn the difference of a rectangle and a square
When the pawn is going to promote to a queen check the black king by the pawn and you will have time to kill the pawn
Who know piesec one move
