Endgame Course for Beginners: 339 Lessons & 886 Exercises!
This comprehensive endgame course is designed specifically for beginners, combining the best elements from three popular courses: Beginners to Club, Chess Strategy for Beginners, and Total Chess Endings. We've curated a balanced mix of tasks that are challenging enough to promote learning, yet simple enough not to overwhelm new players. The content is beginner-friendly and filled with detailed explanations and helpful hints.
Special emphasis is placed on key techniques for winning with an extra pawn. Additionally, we strongly recommend focusing on standard mating patterns—from basic rook and queen mates to more advanced bishop-and-knight checkmates.
This course is part of the Chess King Learn series (https://learn.chessking.com/), a revolutionary approach to chess education. The series covers all aspects of the game—tactics, strategy, openings, middlegame, and endgame—organized by difficulty levels ranging from absolute beginners to experienced and even professional players.
By using this course, you can significantly improve your chess understanding, learn powerful tactical motifs and combinations, and apply your newly acquired skills in real games.
The program functions as a personal chess coach, offering exercises and guiding you through them when you're stuck. It provides hints, detailed explanations, and even demonstrates strong refutations of incorrect moves you might try.
Additionally, the application includes an interactive theoretical section that explains essential endgame strategies using real-life examples. This theory is presented interactively, allowing you not only to read the lessons but also to play out positions and explore variations directly on the board.
