Dan Heisman's Improve Your Chess
Endgame Series: Capablanca-Tartakower NY 1924

In his new series on endgames, NM Heisman selects GM/master games that are decided in the endgame, showing the entire game but concentrating on the endgame play. The idea is to present practical, instructive endgames of all types, not just "theoretical" positions or difficult wins, although any type of endgame may be included. These videos are aimed at players with USCF/FIDE ratings in the range of 1100-1900; however, players outside that range may benefit as well.

Today's show: A famous endgame where Capablanca gets the 7th rank for his rook then nicely sacrifices two pawns to allow his king to penetrate and create dangerous mate threats.
