GM Petrov's Mastering Endgames - Video 9

endgame

In this video, GM Marian shows you some of the most spectacular endgames, in which there is a chase between the pawns. There are a few patterns which you have to look for: one of the pawns is promoted to s square, from which it is stopping the other one on the diagonal; promotion with a check; creating a winning Queen against pawn position. Another typical pattern is when both pawns promote but then follow mate or check, winning the queen.
