Learn how to quickly calculate if a pawn queens without the help of other pieces with the important square rule. The next diagram will help you to understand this important rule: Anand Teaches Endgame

To create the “square”, you need to count how many squares are needed to the pawn to queen, and then count the same number of squares to the left (or left) to the pawn. That way you made a “square” like in the diagram.

The secret of the rule is very easy. If the black king can step in the square, then he can catch the pawn. If he can’t, then the pawn is unstoppable. So, if in this position is Black to play, he moves 1…Kd4(5), with a draw. But, if White moves first, then 1.h5 wins.

Then, Vishy some endgames where the kings are near the passed pawn, which are more difficult to master. But, with the GM advice and easy rules to remember, you will never more have doubts about the right move.

  5. Hey anand sir how check mate with one bishop and one knight , king and opponent. Pieces is one king and night plz you make a this check mate video

  6. Good concepts to know about, but I did not understand how to calculate the number of squares for the first idea he talked about. Is it a specific number of squares (four) that lets you know that the opposing King is 'outside' the square? If not, how do you know whether the opposing King is inside or outside the square?

  7. Just a small point: 'h' is pronounced "aitch", not haytch".

  8. Amazing Anand sir ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  13. I'm 2287 peak these days so I think I can learn from this. Endgames don't happen a lot but the entire game is on the line whenever they do, like a last-minute FG in the NFL.
