King and two pawns x 2

I have looked out today games in the collection of my own games for king and pawn endgames and found several positions I should have handled better. I published already one video of king and two pawns versus king and two pawns endgame.

And then there were more videos!

I've made couple more chessvideos during last days: a video of me playing my sicilian against equally rated opponent and a video of recent game where I played black in very interesting positions of King's English Nimzowitsch-Flohr Variation.

The curious case of a King and Queen versus Queen endgame

Here's a video for 5 minute blitz endgame with hopefully revealing mistakes and right solutions.

More fresh material

I analysed superb defensive display of my friend Ereshkigal. Check out the Rybka brilliancy sacrifice in one of the variations!!

I also recorded another endgame video for chessvideos.tv.

I have found out new ideas on the opening also but especially I am feeling at the moment that working on the endgames improves my overall game as I am getting more feeling for the positions and what I would like to do to it. There's already couple nice examples but now I am heading for jam session with my friends so more about that later...

Some new material!

Here's a treat for all the people waiting for some update. It's a video I worked out on the king and rook versus rook endgame.

Lately I've also published an endgame video of my game against Gouldy and some analysis on interesting 5 minute blitz game against my friend waparker on chessvideos.tv.

Tactics

Watching curtains and zibbit commentaries on chessvideos.tv set my mind in a mode where position from yesterday came back to me. It's a position from 45 minute game yesterday so neither player har serious time trouble.

Here I spotted nice tactical theme of removing the defender and fork but in actual game I miscalculated it - still it is always delightful to find that my mind is able to work couple move forwards.

There was another really strong idea too in the position which also goes by the theme of removing defender.

I feel like not giving it up here if anybody feels like working them out so here it is.

First chess video I ever produced

I'm not so sure everything was in right place in my head while recording, but anyways: here it is.
