Endgame theme
King and pawn endgames
When only kings and pawns remain, activity decides. Learn to escort pawns and blockade theirs without guessing.
The idea in one minute
Your king is an attacking piece. Pushing pawns while the king trails often draws or loses. Lead with the king, use opposition, then advance.
Practice plan
Weekly:
- 10 minutes: king + pawn vs king conversions
- Ask out loud: who has opposition after this move?
- Review one endgame from your own games each week
