Endgame themes

Pawn endgame! Still tricky at any level :)

This ending starts with bishops which are exchanged just in a few moves. Funny thing, that it could transpose to q+p vs q endgames where f-pawn is a win and g-pawn is only a draw according to table-base (move 34 for black as a critical point) - did you know that?

Here is a video lesson on endgame, this one is on bishop versus bishop, a lot of fide players with over 2000 rating thanked me for this one, a lot of work had to be done to find best examples: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rebBvKYXz74&list=PLhGeKsjHa5nz6KYmyXRtrVunc0oar82h7&index=2

#33 my game is not about bishops, since after very good 25. Bd4 their exchange is forced leading to (seems like) theoretically drawn but complicated p-endgame. I should have played 24. ... e6 - and that would be B vs B.

@Puzzletraining this game is a draw from beginning until your opp blundered horribly. Overall I would say there are more interesting options in Ruy besides Steinitz defence.

Unusually rich R vs N endgame. I was better all the time but it was really difficult to find a win:

(I had the black pieces)

nice :) recently I had the similar loss, but it was cooler since we had opposite-colored bishops and I went to queen exchange so easily expecting fast draw. Shame-shame - should have calculated a bit:

Yet another one, active rook play is very important to make the best of it. A draw against the white hedhehog expert GM Espig in a tournament game, I had the black pieces.
